I'm very much with you on relying on version histories, but typically just when something feels off and to initiate a conversation rather than to "prove" something. And your note about showing them this at the front end of the course and explaining how it will be used is really helpful to me—definitely something I'll be doing in the fall.

I also worry, though, that we're drifting into a lose/lose landscape in the years ahead: where there will be an incredibly narrow path to value trust along with accountability, and I worry that both writing and relationships will suffer as a result.

I agree completely about the intrusiveness of process tracking, but I am also fully daunted by the workload implications. I have 100 students every semester in first-year writing courses. I can barely keep up with reading their stuff as it is.
