Gegenseitige Beurteilung: Peer-Review mit Gruppenabgaben durchführen
Workshop: Carry out peer review with group submissions
Goals:
In this guide, you will learn how to conduct a peer review with a group submission and a random assignment of the evaluators. It also describes how to ensure that each group receives a rating and can rate other groups.
Difficulty: intermediate
Valid from Moodle Version 4.5
19 Steps:
1. Preperation
For the following scenario, both the Grouptool as well as the ‘workshop’ activity are required.
Please note: To ensure a smooth process, it is advisable to communicate the following information before the peer review:
- Only one submission per group should be carried out. For this purpose, it is helpful to appoint or have appointed a ‘group spokesperson’ for each group before the start of the peer review. Only this person should upload the submission.
- The feedback for the group submission from the evaluating students is only available to the group spokespersons. Therefore, the named group spokespersons should agree to make the feedback available for the group members to review.
- If you implement an anonymous peer review, please also communicate to your students that under no circumstances should names be mentioned in the document. The default setting of the ‘peer review’ activity displays the author names of the submission for students. Please follow the individual steps in the guide "Workshop: anonymous peer reviews" to configure the activity for an anonymous peer review.
1.1. Preperation- using the Grouptool
Firstly, create the necessary groups using the group administration, into which you can either assign the students or into which the students can enrol themselves for the group submission.
If you have not yet created a group administration in your course, please follow the individual steps as described in the instructions ‘Grouptool: set up self registration to groups’.
Please create the activity ‘Workshop’ as described in the guide ‘Create a Workshop’.
2. Configure the workshop for a group submission
2.1 Defining the group mode
Once you have created the ‘Workshop’ module, please open the activity settings. In the section ‘General settings’ please select the option ‘Visible groups’ from the drop-down menu next to ‘Group mode’.
2.2. Define restrict access
A restriction is defined in the activity settings for groups so that no students can participate in the peer review without being enrolled in a corresponding group for the activity. Please open the context menu by clicking the button "Add restriction".
2.2.1. Create an access restriction for groups
Then select the option "Groups" from the next screen.
Once the access restriction has been added, please select the option ‘Any group’ in the drop-down menu.
2.2.2 Create an access restriction for groupings
If groups are already used in the course, it is advisable to summarise the groups for the workshop in a separate grouping. For information on how to create groupings, please follow the guide ‘Create and use groupings’.
In this case, an access restriction should also be defined for the corresponding grouping.
Therefore, please create another access restriction by clicking on the button ‘Add access restriction’ as described in the previous step. Then select the option ‘Grouping’.
As soon as the page has reloaded, the option with the name of the desired grouping can be selected in the drop-down menu. This will ensure that only students who are enrolled in one of the workshop groups have access to the workshop.
Please note: If using multiple conditions, please ensure that the condition and the logical operator are correct. In this case, the option ‘MUST’ and the logical operator ‘all’ should be selected in the drop-down menu of ‘Conditions’. In this way, both conditions must be fulfilled in order to gain access to the peer review. Please view the guide ‘Define restrict access’ for more information on access restrictions.
Finally, please save the settings you have entered by clicking on the button ‘Save and display’.
3. Carrying out the Peer Review with a group submission
Now start the peer review by carrying out steps 1 to 4 as described in the guide ‘Workshop: carry out a peer review’.
3.1 Remove empty groups
Before you start with the random assignment of the participants, a few manual steps need to be carried out.
Firstly, please check whether there are any groups in which there are no participants (e.g. because students have deregistered from the course). To do this, please use the ‘Enrolment’ tab in the activity Grouptool to check the number of members per group and delete all empty groups. Further information on working with Grouptool can be found in the instructions ‘Grouptool: group administration’.
3.2 Check the number of submissions per group
Please then check whether only one submission has been made in each group.
Therefore, please click on the options of the individual group names in the drop-down menu ‘Visible groups’ below the overview of the workshop phases.
In case several assignments have been submitted in one group, all but one must be deleted. Therefore please click on the submission you intend to delete.
As soon as the page reloads, please delete the submission by clicking the button "Delete submission".
If no submission has been made in a group, this group has to be removed from the workshop by deleting it as described in the step for deleting an empty group.
3.3. Configure and start random allocation
Once all participants have submitted their entries and you have completed the manual steps mentioned above, please click on the link Submissions allocation (1).
The setting for the different modes of allocation will then open. Firstly, please select the option Random allocation (2) in the drop-down menu. Once the page has reloaded, please define the following settings:
In the section Number of reviews (3) please select the number ‘1’ from the first drop-down menu as well as the option ‘per reviewer’ from the second drop-down-menu, as all participants should provide an evaluation.
To prevent students from being assigned to their own submission, please activate the option by clicking on the checkbox (4).
Please also activate the option Participants can assess without having submitted anything (5) by clicking on the checkbox, as previously only the group spokespersons were able to upload a submission. In case this option is deactivated, the other group members cannot carry out a review.
Finally, apply the settings by clicking the button Save changes (6).
After the assignment has been carried out, please continue with the next step (step 9) of the peer review, as described in the guide ‘Workshop: carry out a peer review.
3.4. Transfer points of the group spokespersons automatically to all group members
As soon as the last phase of the peer review has been completed, all group members should receive exactly the same number of points for the group submission as the respective group spokespersons.
To update these points automatically, please follow the individual steps in the instructions ‘Copy grade to other group members’.
