Would you like to explore ways of reducing the time you spend on marking whilst enhancing the student learning experience? This workshop will provide an opportunity for academics from engineering and physical sciences disciplines to find out more about peer assessment, highlighting approaches which can easily be embedded in your own teaching. Peer assessment is a tried and tested method, supported by decades of research, which has been proven to enhance the learning process. This will be an interactive day and delegates will explore some of the issues through engaging in a team peer assessment activity. The views of both students and tutors will be put forward for discussion. The event is being hosted by the JISC funded WebPA project and organised by the Subject Centres for Engineering and Physical Sciences. The project is creating an open source version of an existing online peer moderated marking system for the assessment of group work. There will be plenty of opportunity to find out more about the tool and other resources available.
