| Edinburgh University has made a number of PeerMark case studies available, including the experiences and thinking of staff setting up peer assessment for the first time. Nb you may need to allow the media in your web browser security settings. For general design principles and case studies of peer assessment / peer review, see the University of Strathclyde's PEER Toolkit. |
Setting up a new PeerMark Assignment
...
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' |
|
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. Clicking on Library Settings allows you to create and delete libraries, and to save and retrieve questions from those libraries. There is also a 'Sample Library' which you can add pre-made questions from. |

Distribution
In the 'Distribution' tab of the PeerMark Manager you can see all the student accounts associated with this assignment and how they will be allocated reviews. If you want to, this is where you can get involved with who reviews whose work. If you can't see all the accounts you are expecting, click outside of the Peermark Manager to return to your Turnitin assignment page; then click its 'Turnitin Students' tab. From there you can click 'Enrol all students', which will bring in all students 'enrolled' in that Moodle course area. |

If you need to exempt student from the PeerMark activity, you can do so exclude them by clicking their adjacent red minus icon. Similarly you can add exempted students by clicking their green plus iconMinus icon; their name displays greyed-out and they gain a green Plus icon, which you can click if you need to reinstate them. If you want to pair students (so that a particular student is allocated the work of another particular student to review, overriding any other distribution settings) you can do so by clicking the blue plus Plus icon and then selecting a student to pair with from the dropdown list. Paired students are then required to review the work they are allocated.

On the 'Peermark Assignment' tab there is a link for additional settings. Here's some explanation of 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 before they can review anyone else's. It isn't currently possible to select self review only - the number allocated by PeerMark has to be at least one. |
