Hi Lindsey, I use it for summative assessment in modules that count towards a degree. I've come across at least one example at an institution where peer assessment constitutes 100% of the assessment and they had been running it for about 15 years without problem - though not actually using WebPA of course given the timescales. I use it for part of a single assignment so overall it only typically constitutes maybe 10-15% of a module mark. The point I make is that the marking schemes allow them to pass the module if they refuse to engage with the group work and subsequent peer assessment but since participating in the group work is part of the module requirements, why would they prevent themselves from the opportunity to get full marks? No one has ever refused to engage with it...

We are considering whether or not to pilot WebPA but before making a decision I would like to know if anyone is using it in modules that count towards degree classification? Colleagues I'm working with have concerns about jeopardy in relation to a student's classification.
