Evidence Based Practice Seminar Series 2010: Assessment and Feedback

Peer Assessment of Group Work Management and Support via Technology

University of Hull
Wednesday 14th April
Staff House, CR2, 13.30 – 16.15

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).

Objectives of the session are to provide examples of the use of peer assessment of group work; to explore some of the issues that are pertinent to the use of peer assessment of group work; to offer a forum where the pros and cons of peer assessment can be discussed; and to describe the use of specific tools that can support peer assessment of group activities.
