The Peerwork plugin was designed to replicate functionality of WebPA in Moodle allowing a peer weighting to be applied to assignments.
Using this plugin teachers still grade the assignment, but available marks are distributed between students based on peer ratings.

A common complaint from students working on group assignments is that all students receive the same grade regardless of the amount of individual effort / contribution.
The Peerwork plugin was designed address this by allowing teachers to grade work, but for the available marks to be distributed based on peer assessments of students contribution to the assignment. Within this plugin teachers can:
- Set up as many criteria as are needed
- Apply Moodle scales to the criteria (usually Likert)
- Apply privacy settings / visibility of peer scores and comments
- Apply a weighting to the peer element
- Require students to complete peer work
- Report activity completion based on students completion of peer review
- Give students option of leaving feedback comments (can be anonymous)
- Grade assignments (teacher)
- Modify peer weighting by group
- Override final grades where necessary
- Control visibility of peer marks and comments to other students
- Release grades for all students at the same time
- Download csv exports for entire class or individual groups
This plugin was offers an alternative to WebPA natively within Moodle.

Issue #58 referred to above has been fixed in v2.3.0 However, this will result in a change to grades for existing Peerwork activities with self grading turned off. The change will not automatically filter to the gradebook. The gradebook is updated when the Peerwork grading page is saved.
Thank you User:Sam Cole for highlighting the bug. I have added tests to cover self grading options.
We also found a display issue when the grading scale exceeds the available window space (eg. an 8 point likert) the radio buttons wrap but the scale headings do not which has the potential for students to select the wrong value.

Is it mandatory to evaluate all elements of the group?
Hi @Feng-Cheng Chang - there is a bug tracker issue for this. I will be looking at any outstanding issues in June
Hi @Scott hallman - this is not currently possible. Could you log it as a feature request?
Hi @artur santos - it is mandatory to give every member a rating yes.
Hi @Anabel Benito - could you expand a little and provide a screenshot?

First of all, this plugin is great, congratulations. I hope the Community will help in its continuity. We are using the 3.11.0 (2021052403) version (we are in Moodle 3.11), I expand my questions:
On one hand, is it possible to set the tutor's grading on a score of 10, instead of a score of 100?
On the other hand, in the activity is it always necessary to have a grade from the tutor to get calculated grades? It is possible a calculation that only takes into account the peer evaluation, without the tutor's mark. I see that the activity forces to include the tutor's grade to make the final calculation, so the Peer assessment weighting can never be 100%, even if the option appears. If so, is there a possibility to download an excel with the peer grading?
Take a look at these screenshots for clarification: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pQw0I5ygfmbHQ_diWhO9-qnAgfvKcDVoDiDmQKuMm2Q/edit?usp=sharing
THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your help.
