Would you like to explore ways of reducing the time you spend on marking
whilst enhancing the student learning experience? This workshop will provide
an opportunity for academics from engineering and physical sciences
disciplines to find out more about peer assessment, highlighting approaches
which can easily be embedded in your own teaching. Peer assessment is a
tried and tested method, supported by decades of research, which has been
proven to enhance the learning process.
This will be an interactive day and delegates will explore some of the
issues through engaging in a team peer assessment activity. The views of
both students and tutors will be put forward for discussion.
The event is free and is being hosted by the JISC funded WebPA project and organised by
the Subject Centres for Engineering and Physical Sciences. The project is
creating an open source version of an existing online peer moderated
marking system for the assessment of group work. There will be plenty of
opportunity to find out more about the tool and other resources available.
