  9. WebPA is an open source online peer assessment tool that enables every team member to recognise individual contributions to group work http://www.webpaproject.com/

  10. By using WebPA to peer assess group work, each student received an adjusted mark http://www.webpaproject.com/?q=node/125

  11. How it works • On-line survey • time-keeping & preparedness • contribution – lab & report • problem solving • safe lab working • Care in taking measurements • Students mark peers & themselves • Normalise marks • Weighting factor

  12. Using WebPA • Import students from MyAberdeen • Create question form • Lickert scale • Share from 100%

  13. Using WebPA • Create assessment(s) • Weighting (50%) • Non-completion penalty • Date criteria • Email reminders
