Ravi Murugesan is a Moodle course creator, admin and online teacher at INSAP (a UK-based international development charity). Because of the nature of their work (providing technical support to researchers in the developing world), they needed to find a way to provide evaluation and assessment to their growing volume of students that wasn’t teacher/instructor dependent.
At the iMoot2015, Ravi discusses how INASP has continued to evolve a peer-assessment solution using Moodle Workshop to provide their learners with high quality feedback on their work.
I enjoyed Ravi’s candidness about how he didn’t get peer evaluation “right” out of the box the first time. But rather, he had to learn on the fly and evolve. Some of the key learnings he discusses include:
- Moodle Workshop is not for the faint of heart (it requires serious effort across many settings and stages)
- Workshop can be very confusing to students (and the instructor!) – especially when it comes to peer assessment
- How to use allocations to distribute work for assessment
- How to set up a high quality Assessment form
- How to handle grading in Workshop
