Hello folks. I'm fairly new to Moodle and am supporting a course using the Workshop activity (in 2.0.1).
Peer assessment is turned on in the workshop, and students have been divided into two groups. They submit writing examples which are reviewed by their peers using a provided rubric with scores and comments.
How does the student see the assessment or feedback on his writing?
Sorry if this is a basic question, but I must just be missing something here.
Thanks for any help,
Dan
Hi Daniel,
please see Workshop module docs page first. Shortly, what you need to do is:
Thanks David - yes, I've reviewed the module documentation and searched forums, but still have this question. The workshop is all the way through the closed phase now. However, what gets posted in the Gradebook is the assessment score and teacher feedback, like this:
It appears to me that there is no way for the student to see the comments or feedback provided by peers during the peer assessment process. They can only see the score given and the feedback provided by the teacher.
Was something missed in setting up the peer assessment or grading process? I also think it's odd that the student has to wait until all grades have been given to all students and the workshop is closed before being able to see the results of the peer assessment.
Correct - only the teacher's feedback is recorded in the Gradebook (if it is present). A student can see feedback from all peer-reviewers who were assessing his/her submission in the Workshop activity itself, once it is closed.
Results of peer-assessment can not be available during the Assessment phase because the received assessment could bias the giving assessment. And the results can not be published during the Grading evaluation phase too as they are not final. The teacher can override them yet, change weights etc. It would be confusing for students if the given grade would change several times.
Hi David. I have a problem using 2.0.2+, teacher's comments made on the assessments are not copied to the gradebook, it works well with teacher's comments on the submission but not on the assessment.
¿Am I missing something?
Thanks David. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you.
Hello,
We've just started to try this great Moodle 2.0 workshop activity module with our students, and we've run into a similar question.
We're wondering if, when workshop is closed, is there any way for students to see (perhaps anonymously) the various assessments received for their work, including probably the teacher's one.
It would be great to be able to see them, as they often contain valuable information about how your peers see your work (grading and feedback for each "dimension" or aspect, not just the aggregate)
As far as we can see, once workshop is closed the student can only see the assessments she made, not the ones she received.
Or perhaps am I missing something?
I've read this entire thread, and the key question appears to remain unanswered: how do students read or gain access to the comments made by their assessors?
This is not apparent just from looking at the screen. The student must click on their submission, and then scroll down below their submission to see the comments and scores from each of their assessors, including any commentary from the instructor.
Correct me if I am wrong, but this information is only available AFTER the Workshop has been closed.
I've read this entire thread, and the key question appears to remain unanswered: how do students read or gain access to the comments made by their assessors?
Yes I wish this feature existed in the workshop, I required my students to type in the comments field if they dont' give a perfect score for any item on the rubric.
However, I was saddened by the fact if a student got a low score, there's no way to pull up these comments, nor the specific scores. This is what the official help says:
Accumulative grading: Comments and a grade are given regarding the aspects of the workshop specified.
The comments from their peers will point out the weakness of their work, which is generally difficult to find out by themselves.
Well, when my students click on the closed workshop, they can't see any comments.
I would like my students to be able to dispute the scores and see why they got the score they did.
How can students find the values of the comments field? Is this stored in the database?
CORRECTION: The students have to not only click once on the gradebook, but they have to click their Submission Title to see the list of comments. That wasn't clear in the instructions.
I encountered the same problem yesterday - and found the solution this morning.
The Moodle workshop module offers two possibilities to switch from submission to assessment phase:
