Evidence Based Practice Seminar Series 2010: Assessment and Feedback
Peer Assessment of Group Work Management and Support via Technology
Wednesday 14th April, Staff House, University of Hull
The overall aim of this seminar is to consider ways in which peer assessment can be used with regards to group work, and the ways in which technology can be used to enhance the learning experience and potentially make the teacher’s role more efficient. The specific aims of the seminar are to promote the use of peer assessment in group work, to encourage the use of good practice where it is used and to increase awareness of the potential use of technology to enhance peer assessment of group work & how WebPA fits in to HEFCE’s Enhancing Learning and Teaching through the use of Technology implementation framework (HEFCE, 2009).
Evidence Based Practice Seminar Series 2010: Assessment and Feedback
Closing the feedback loop in WebPA - Peer Review of individual students in group projects
Wednesday 9th June 2010, Loughborough University
This seminar provides a background to the WebPA system (www.webpa.ac.uk), an open source online peer assessment tool for students that enables every team member to recognise individual contributions to group work.
Using research and open source community resources the functionality and deployment of WebPA is explored and features of the basic and more advanced WebPA systems demonstrated. Expanding on the tool and its use in feedback - pilot findings will be shared in the seminar as a foundation to the key discussion. The overall aim is to link feedback to resources that could aid individual student skill development (feed-forward).
