17th Sep 2015 - at the current time we do not recommend using PeerMark due to an unresolved bug where the PeerMark reviews summary page and the downloadable excel spreadsheet don't reflect actual numbers of reviews received/submitted. ELE are investigating a resolution. Meanwhile, apologies for this. |

PeerMark Assignment settings
...
On the 'Peermark Assignment' tab there is a link for additional settings. Here's some explanation for the less obvious ones. 'Award full points if review is written' If ticked this means tutors will not be able to mark the reviews and a student will need to meet set requirements for every part of the review in order to get the available marks, on an all-or-nothing basis. If unticked, tutors can assign and differentiate marks for each student's review. 'Allow students to view author and reviewer names' If left unticked, you probably need to remind students not to put any identifying information in the title, filename, or body of their work. 'Paper(s) automatically distributed by Peermark' This sets the number of randomly allocated papers each student has to review. 'Papers(s) selected by the student' This sets the number of papers a student can choose to review. Students can review a combination of allocated and selected papers. 'Require self-review' If checked, a student has to review their own paper. It isn't currently possible to select self review only - the number allocated by PeerMark has to be at least one. |

The 'PeerMark Questions' tab of the PeerMark Manager allows you create the questions you want the peer reviewers to answer. To add a question, click 'Add question'. | Image to come. | ||
Enter your question text, the question type. There are two types of question you can use; |
| ||
For a 'Free response' question, enter the minimum answer length (this counts words). | |||
For a 'Scale' question, enter the scale size and the lowest and highest values. | |||
You can also use Libraries to manage your PeerMark questions. To create a Library, click 'Save to Library' > 'Add Library', and name your Library - when you save the Library, the questions you have created are saved to that Library; to retrieve questions from a Library, click 'Add From Library'. A question may exist in more than one Library.
There is also a 'Sample Library' from which you can add existing questions. |
