This session will address the topic of peer assessment and will attempt to answer the following questions: What is peer assessment? What can it be used for? Can it be used summatively or just formatively? In terms of enabling technologies, the session will introduce participants to Aropä, PeerWise and Moodle Workshop for peer assessment, and we will encourage staff to consider how they might use these tools in pedagogically effective ways to promote students’ active learning and collaboration.Although the session will mainly draw on examples from Life Sciences, examples of peer assessment in other disciplines will be highlighted.
