Peer Group Assessment

It can be noted that if students have been exposed to good assessment rubrics the peer group assessment becomes easier. A Learning Management System (in this case Moodle ) can make the process of peer group assessment with large classes exceptionally easy. Before Moodle students would assess each others presentations on a slip of paper and all the data would be put into an excel database and formulas used to find a score for each student.

Now with Moodle, a feedback activity module is packed with the software but in older versions has to be activated in the site administration. A feedback activity is put in the unit of work for the class and the students can log into their Moodle account and leave an assessment for each student after the student has finished their presentation.
