Hi all, Yes, at Hull we have used WebPA across a range of modules (mainly based in the Faculty of Science and Engineering) and haven't had issues with the main interface/use of WebPA. Individual academics usually describe the principles of the peer assessment when launching the coursework activity and/or reminding the students to do the assessment - though the focus is on the marking criteria/categories (which may include negotiating what these are). There is some work going on to update the help information - and that is intended to be launched next month. We are also planning on a WebPA Special Interest Group meeting here at Hull on the afternoon of 26 March (details will go out on the list in the next few weeks).

Hi, We’ve never really used a guide for students at Loughborough either, although some of our academics will explain the peer assessment process in some detail to their students. The Loughborough installation does have a “tour” option on the login screen, if you want to copy some of the content from that. You can find it here: http://webpa.lboro.ac.uk/tours.php -- Paul Newman ------------------------------------------------------ Senior PHP Developer Centre for Engineering and Design Education Loughborough University ------------------------------------------------------ From: WebPA [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Shona Smith Subject: Re: Student guide/resources for WebPA? I've never come accross a guide for students, but our students who've used it have never had any difficulty as its quite self-explanatory from their point of view. You could set up a dummy assessment and test it out yourself, so you'd see what the students see and could guide them through it that way. From: WebPA <[log in to unmask]> on behalf of Wright, Steve <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Student guide/resources for WebPA? Setting up WebPA at the moment and need to present it tomorrow to students - I can see a great resource pack with information for academics (rationale, benefits, getting support), learning technologists (working with academics, costs, benefits) and IT support (costs and security) but no simple resource or guide for students - is there one? Any slides or guides most welcome!
