The Discussion Grader is now available on our Blackboard system. It allows you to assign participation points to each student, based on their postings to a discussion forum. When posting the grades you can see all the messages from that student.
Note that this is by forum, not thread. If you are going to use this you will probably want to make individual forums for each graded unit.
The Discussion Grader can be found in the Course Tools area of the Control Panel of your course sites. Let me know if you have any questions.
