Moodle Workshop 2.0 - a (simplified) explanation

A (simplified) explanation of how grading works in the Moodle 2.0 Workshop activity,[object Object],Mark Drechsler,[object Object]

What is the workshop?,[object Object],“an advanced Moodle activity designed for peer-assessments within a structured review/feedback/grading framework”,[object Object],- David Mudrak, Workshop 2.0 developer,[object Object]

Comprises two assessments:,[object Object],An assessment of a piece of work submitted by a student (known as the ‘Grade for submission’), and,[object Object],An assessment of how well a student can assess the work of other students (known as the ‘Grade for assessment’),[object Object]

Cycle of events,[object Object]

How are grades calculated?,[object Object],Lets look at an example which shows us the ‘grading sheet’ for the workshop after all submissions have been assessed and final scores have been calculated.,[object Object]

Moodle Workshop 2.0 - a (simplified) explanation

A confession...,[object Object],Note that this is a slight simplification – the comparisons of how well a student marked the work of another student is actually calculated against each marking criteria, not against the final average, but since the average is made up from the marking criteria then this simplified explanation will still hold true.,[object Object]

Summing up...,[object Object],The grade you will receive for your work will be an average of the grades given to you by your peers and your teacher.,[object Object],These may be weighted so that, for example, the grade of your teacher counts for more than the peer assessments.,[object Object]

Summing up...,[object Object],The grade you will receive for your ability to assess others will depend on how close your assessment was to the consensus of the group marking the same assignment.,[object Object],If your marking is consistent with the crowd (including your teacher), you will get good results.,[object Object]

Summing up...,[object Object],Not shown here, but...,[object Object],Your teacher can manually override any of the assessments if there appears to be anomalies,[object Object],There is no necessity for both teacher and students to mark the submissions, it can be just one or the other if desired,[object Object],Teachers can provide exemplar submissions and assessments,[object Object],Students can assess own work,[object Object]

With big thanks...,[object Object],...to David Mudrak (http://blog.mudrak.name/) for taking up the challenge of redesigning the interface, rewriting the code and taking the time to explain the inner workings of Workshop 2.0 on moodle.org – awesome work.,[object Object]
