Re: [Bodington-developers] Peer Marking tool

Here's a few points about the peer marker.


The peer marker assumes that there are markers, candidates for marking =
and
one or more moderators. The markers and candidates may be in different
groups or in the same group.

Markers must have mark privilege.
Candidate must have post permission.
Moderators must have manage privilege.

A user can be both a marker and a candidate. Whether he/she can mark =
him/her
self is a property of the peer marker.

When you create a peer marker, you have the option of  allowing marking =
only
once, or allowing markers to re-mark and also the option to disallow
self-marking.

The peer marker tool allows you to create/edit items for marking.  These
will usually take the form of a marking instruction and a marking range. =
A
typical marking instruction would be: 'Please give a mark between zero
(worst) and 10 (best) that you think represents the contribution that =
each
member has made to the group's discussion.'  You can add more items, =
each
with its own instruction and marking range.

When a marker accesses the peer marker, for each item they see a list of
names of the persons whose work is to be marked. =20

Note that the work to be marked is entirely separate from the peer =
marker -
it can be a discussion, work upload to a pigeonhole, a website. It can =
even
be an activity outside Bodington. =20

The marker sets marks for each candidate and then records the marks.  If =
the
marker has review privilege, he/she can review the marks he/she has =
given.
If 'Marking allowed only once' (a peer marker property) is unchecked, =
then
he/she can change the marks he/she has given.

(I check 'Marking allowed only once' and uncheck 'Marking self =
allowed'.)

The marks can be reviewed and moderated by a moderator, who must have =
manage
permission.  He/she can get a list of the marks given by each marker, =
the
marks received by each candidate, or an overall summary of the marks.  =
The
moderator can change any of the marks, can disallow individual marks, or =
can
disallow all of a marker's marks.  This is necessary when allowing =
students
to peer-mark, as not all of the students will take the marking =
seriously.

When the moderator is satisfied that the marks represent a fair =
assessment
of each candidate, he/she can examine a summary of marks across all peer
marker tools at the same level in the hierarchy (so if you have several =
peer
marker  tools, one for each of a set of groups, you can all of their =
marks
in one go.)  Moderated marks will be shown in red and disallowed marks =
will
be indicated with an X.

The moderator can also export the marks as a CSV file for further
manipulation in Excel etc.

Hope this helps.

Hi Aggie

We're in the process of adding the Peer Marking tool to WebLearn -- all
looks great so far. At this=20
stage we need to provide a brief overview of how it works (and how it =
could
be used in conjunction=20
with other Bod resources). Do you have any notes that we could elaborate =
on,
rather than starting=20
from scratch?

Thanks!

Colin
