Dear Steve,
You might have got this info via other ways already, but if you log on to the demo version as staff here http://webpaos.lboro.ac.uk/login.php
and scroll down to 'Additional Supporting Documents' there is a student manual with two sections: 'A Student Guide to Completing WebPA' and 'A Quick Student Guide to WebPA.
Best wishes
Heike

Subject: Student guide/resources for WebPA?
Hi there,
Setting up WebPA at the moment and need to present it tomorrow to students - I can see a great resource pack with information for academics (rationale, benefits, getting support), learning technologists (working with academics, costs, benefits) and IT support (costs and security) but no simple resource or guide for students - is there one?
Any slides or guides most welcome!
Many thanks

Hi Steve,
I've never come accross a guide for students, but our students who've used it have never had any difficulty as its quite self-explanatory from their point of view.
You could set up a dummy assessment and test it out yourself, so you'd see what the students see and could guide them through it that way.
Kind regards,
Shona

Hi,
We’ve never really used a guide for students at Loughborough either, although some of our academics will explain the peer assessment process in some detail to their students.
The Loughborough installation does have a “tour” option on the login screen, if you want to copy some of the content from that. You can find it here:

Hi all,
Yes, at Hull we have used WebPA across a range of modules (mainly based in the Faculty of Science and Engineering) and haven't had issues with the main interface/use of WebPA.
Individual academics usually describe the principles of the peer assessment when launching the coursework activity and/or reminding the students to do the assessment - though the focus is on the marking criteria/categories (which may include negotiating what these are).
There is some work going on to update the help information - and that is intended to be launched next month.
We are also planning on a WebPA Special Interest Group meeting here at Hull on the afternoon of 26 March (details will go out on the list in the next few weeks).
Regards
Neil

Just clarifying here: this is a "no there aren't any guides"?
However you seem to imply none are needed?
We're setting up live as there's been no time to run a pilot - so any support/resources/slides still welcome as I have today to get used to what it is / how it works in order to present it tomorrow to students AND staff!
Steve
