The load of feedback activity can be distributed among students rather than relying solely on staff.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bath.ac.uk\/management\/faculty\/richard_kamm.html\">Richard Kamm<\/a>, Head of Learning and Teaching Quality, School of Management, has been using the Moodle Workshop for this purpose on a final year unit on Privacy Trust and Security in Information Systems for 2 years.<\/p>\n<h2>WebPA<\/h2>\n<p>A well known criticism of assessed group work is that each student receives\u00a0the same mark, regardless of individual performance. \u00a0Peer assessment allows students to rate their team member\u2019s contributions.<\/p>\n<p>By using <a href=\"http:\/\/webpa.ac.uk\/\">WebPA<\/a> software to peer assess group work, each student receives an adjusted mark. \u00a0Students can conduct this activity using an online form on WebPA where an\u00a0algorithm processes the scores.\u00a0\u00a0The software also allows teachers to run and\u00a0mark assessments.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bath.ac.uk\/mech-eng\/people\/barrie\/index.html\">Jeff Barrie<\/a> currently works in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, teaching aspects of Engineering Design (such as CAD, engineering software and sketching), and supporting group design project activities.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"497\" height=\"518\" class=\"wp-image-85\" title=\"Image from http:\/\/webpa.ac.uk\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/litebox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2015\/05\/webpa.png\" alt=\"WebPA example, from http:\/\/webpa.ac.uk\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/litebox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2015\/05\/webpa.png 497w, https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/litebox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2015\/05\/webpa-144x150.png 144w, https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/litebox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2015\/05\/webpa-288x300.png 288w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 497px) 100vw, 497px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This event has taken please, please read back the event information or watch a recording of the session This workshop will inform the participants about the Moodle Workshop facility as used for feedback on essay proposals, and will include a...<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":298,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[15],"tags":[22,23,87],"class_list":["post-84","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-litebox-event","tag-discussion","tag-moodle","tag-webpa"],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/litebox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/litebox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/litebox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/litebox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/298"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/litebox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=84"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/litebox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/litebox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=84"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/litebox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=84"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/litebox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=84"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
