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
