Description¶
Moodle's Workshop activity module supports the distribution, anonymous peer assessment, and teacher assessment of learner submissions using defined assessment criteria and grading schemes.
Components¶
- Moodle workshop module as the online peer assessment platform: The experiment's observation and marking tool was the "workshop" module of the Moodle platform, into which anonymised digitalised exam papers were placed for peer and teacher marking with a defined marking scheme. The article reports that "This module is stable and presents a user-friendly environment", but identifies a weakness in its marking tool: the scale scheme was implemented as option buttons from "excellent" to "very poor", a method the authors say can lead to errors. (Bouzidi et al. (2009))
Claims¶
- Peer assessment is equivalent to teacher assessment for exact-science exams with clear marking schemes [+M] (marking done in the Workshop module)
- Combining peer assessment with self-assessment brings marks closer to the teacher's marks [+M]
- Peers slightly under-mark their comrades' papers while self-assessors over-mark their own [~M]
