I'm trialling the workshop activity and wonder whether anyone can give me some feedback on the use of this tool. I understand how it works and how it is set up but I'm not sure how students are going to review each other's submitted assessment.
How do I assign a student to review an assignment? Are the submitted assignments viewable to everyone when the assessment phase opens?
Thanks,
Flora
There is documentation on the workshop here Workshop If you look especially at the See also section of Using workshop there is an ancient screencast I did on how it works (a brief journey into the Moodle 2 workshop) - it should give you an idea - and also in that See also section there is a sample workshop with data you can play with on the School demonstration site.
Flora,
It sounds like you've done all that you can to set up the Workshop as a "teacher", and now you're curious about the "student" experience. Because the "teacher" and "student" experiences in the Workshop are very different, it's worthwhile to make some fake students (3 should suffice) and actually do the workshop as students. You'll see quickly that it's not too complicated.
You can allocate reviews to students manually or have Moodle do it automatically.
By default, the submitted assignments are viewable only to the author and reviewer, and only after you allocate them and enter the Assessment phase .
Thanks Steven & Mary for the feedback. Much appreciated.
Cheers,
Flora
