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:

  1. Set up as many criteria as are needed
  2. Apply Moodle scales to the criteria (usually Likert)
  3. Apply privacy settings / visibility of peer scores and comments
  4. Apply a weighting to the peer element
  5. Require students to complete peer work
  6. Report activity completion based on students completion of peer review
  7. Give students option of leaving feedback comments (can be anonymous)
  8. Grade assignments (teacher)
  9. Modify peer weighting by group
  10. Override final grades where necessary
  11. Control visibility of peer marks and comments to other students
  12. Release grades for all students at the same time
  13. Download csv exports for entire class or individual groups

This plugin was offers an alternative to WebPA natively within Moodle.

    IMPORTANT UPDATE:

    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.

    If a Teacher accidentally grades one of the groups before the due date, it prevented others in the group from submitting. I could not find a way to retract this so perhaps a check could be made to prevent grading before the due date?

    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.

    Hi, there is a bug related to 'Export all group grades' function. If teacher changes the penalty of students with no submissions from 0 to a number after giving group marks in each group, the final marks are calculated with penalty. However, when clicking 'Export all group grades' button, the final grades in the downloaded Excel do not involve the influences of penalty. But, if the penalty is set up before students give peer assessment submissions, the final marks in 'Export all group grades' Excel sheet are calculated with the influence of penalty.

    @Amanda I do not think they are the same. The one that is already reported is about the calculation result. But the bug I found is about the data in the download Excel sheet is different from the data in the Moodle web page. I have wrote down this issue with screen shots in bug tracker.

    Hi, I have mod_peerwork 3.11.0 on my moodle. When setting a peer work assignment, I use some HTML formatting elements in the "description" box. However, it seems that HTML formatting is stripped from the view page. All the students see a single non-formatted text paragraph. Is there anything I can do to show the formatted description on the view page? Thank you very much.

    Great plug in. much simpler than workshop without all the maintenance. Wondering how I can deal with group presentations where individuals grade a group of students and they all get the same mark?

    Hello! Great Job.
    Is it mandatory to evaluate all elements of the group?

    Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to avoid the tutor grading in the activity. I configured the percentage Peer assessment weighting in 100% because there isn't any other Weight, but it seems that it is compulsory that the tutor puts a grade group out of 100. And in case that it can't be done, is it possible to change the Grade group maximum puntuation from 100 to 10? Thank you!

    Apologies all. My email address changed and I missed these comments. I no longer work for the institution this plugin was developed for. I will continue to maintain the plugin but it is unlikely that any major new features will be added, unless they are contributed others.

    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?

    Thank you for your message, @Amanda Doughty.
    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.

    Dear team, thanks for all your great development work on this plugin. We hvae just recently added it at the University of Nottingham, UK. We are now on Moodle 4.1 and have had some comments from our academics that the Peer Assessment activity doesn't appear to feed into the timeline on the dashboard for students, as other assessment activities do. This would be a great new feature, as the timeline is much more prominent in 4.1. Are there any plans to update the plugin to engage with the calendar API and push deadlines for Peer Assessmenet activities to the timeline? Thanks!
