Dear Nuala,
That sounds a helpful development - we (WebPA Special Interest Group) have discussed developing the WebPA documentation but it has been limited so far.
However, Loughborough are looking at developing the WebPA project site some more so it would be timely.
We are also hoping to launch this at the next SiG meeting - potentially at a Sig on March 26th here in Hull as part of a HEA Technology Enhanced Learning Workshop (details below):
-----------------
Call for contributions.
HEA STEM Computing Workshop: Learning Technologies 2014
In collaboration with the Higher Education Academy STEM (Computing), this one day workshop for, and by, Computer Science practitioners and other educators will take place at the University of Hull on Wednesday 26th March 2014: http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/events/detail/2014/26_March_Computing_Hull
We welcome contributions on the following sub-themes
* Innovative approaches to teaching and assessing large classes (use of social technologies and peer assessment, such as WebPA);
* Giving effective feedback (possibly through peer feedback and assessment);
* Encouraging and enabling peer mentoring through social media;
* The impact of social media on teaching and learning
Other examples of applying technology to teaching, learning and assessment in computer science and other disciplines are also appreciated.
Participants are invited to submit papers (position papers, research or proposals) as well as posters of on-going work. Abstracts for papers (maximum of 500 words) should be submitted, preferably in Word or PDF format to [log in to unmask] Contributors of selected abstracts will be contacted and asked to submit posters or position papers in full and to present these at the workshop.
Papers and posters will be published in the ISBN reference proceedings.
General enquiries can be directed to Neil Gordon [log in to unmask] and Karen Fraser [log in to unmask]
Important dates:
12th December 2013 Call for participation

Subject: help Links for LTI installs of WebPA
Good morning
I'm having a look at how we can better document our LTI implementation of WebPA and this note is to shamelessly pick brains of anybody who has cracked this!
Currently....
The designed in documentation for WebPA works well. Each page links through to context sensitive help on the WebPA site eg if you are on "WebPA OS my groups" you are sent to http://www.webpaproject.com/?q=node/233
The LTI extension creates a number of admin pages. For which all help goes through to: http://www.webpaproject.com/?q=node/237 which obviously doesn't include sync data, transfer grades, or sharing.
So a few questions.....
- Have any colleagues done anything with this already?
- if we attempted to write some generic *VLE independent* text for the LTI pages would there be any chance of putting this on the project pages - or would this result in something a bit too confusing? And not actually helpful enough.
I've had a go a documenting the WebPA/Blackboard process during Celtic II (eg https://blogs.ncl.ac.uk/peerassess/category/webpa/groupsync/ ) but am reluctant to hardcode links to this documentation via each WebPA form.
Best wishes
Nuala
