The Workshop module is designed for peer-assessment.
Thanks Tim but the workshop is for inline text and submissions. I would like the students to answer essay questions and then mark the answers of others.
But surely an "essay question" can be submitted to a workshop as an online text item and then students can do just what you want?
This is not a bad idea. However, it would have been nice to have been able to use the Question Bank since I have placed all our key questions within this area.
You might try creating a forum as a tool, allowing students to attach their assignment files and allowing them to post comments to the forum if this can contribute to the peer correction process and outcomes. Make sure to select the settings that will allow all this - the ability for students to start a new thread (one each), to attach a file, and to be able to download and reupload (hmmm... this might be tricky unless they rename the file, e.g., [original_filename]_marked_by_XYZ.doc).
