Hi There,

 

What you are suggesting is a peer review tool and unfortunately WebPA is
a peer assessment tool. A peer review tool would allow you to do exactly
what you want to do as outlined below. I have come across a number of
both tools, both with differing levels of functionality but as far as I
know there is no single tool that can act as an effective peer review
tool *and* a peer assessment tool. So, you could either use two tools to
meet your needs (could be messy and time consuming?) or perhaps a
workaround with WebPA. You could use a third party tool (blog, wiki for
example?) to share anonymous documents which the students provide
feedback. They then use WebPA to score and these marks are fed back to
the student. Just a quick suggestion at least.

 

Regards

 

Paul

Hi Nic

I just wondered if it would be possible to forward the message below to
the WebPa mailing group, I am subscribed and receive all the group
emails but can not post anything. Every time i try to send an email It
gets rejected and tells me I'm not subscribed.

Hi all

Juts forwarding this message on behalf of a colleague.

Dear forum, 

I am investigating the use of WebPA and wondered if the following
proposal if possible with this software. I have 150 first year students
who I would like to familiarise with our marking system and at the same
time develop their critical analysis of others' work. Thus, if it was
possible they would submit a copy of some formative coursework
electronically, and in return they would receive an anonymous piece of
course work that they would be required to review and then
electronically submit back into the system. The reviewed piece of work
would then be accessible by the original author who would subsequently
benefit from the comments provided by his/her peer. Ideally the
allocation of coursework would be randomised. This process would be
repeated 4 times across the module and at the end I could tally how many
reviews were carried out by each student? Is this  possible with WebPA
and if not what limitations are there to this procedure....are there
alternative procedures that would match this purpose? Thanks in advance
for your help and suggestion.   

Luke
