A colleague found your video and made me aware of it. I've passed it to a computer science lecturer who wants to take his peer review sessions, currently done f2f in tutes, online. I think the same level of engagement is difficult to match, but this does make some f2f elements possible online in a nice framework, and adds the online touch in terms of asynchronouse communication accordance's. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks from down-under for making the video! Hi Lindsay,

There appears to be a general feeling that turning marking around is so time-pressured that it is not an appropriate time to learn something new. However, the tutor does have plenty of opportunity to repeat or practice a new procedure in a short space of time, and I suspect this is why developments in our tutors' marking practices have been the easiest and fastest developments to embed.

Do you have any examples to look or you might sneekily send me if that is not too much trouble?

I think I agree; we recently tried to address this by providing templates that the tutors can paste into the editor; neither of the tutors we offered this to have taken up the suggestion. But I guess we'll be discussing this with them when we do the module reviews next month, with a view to finding a mutually pleasing solution! It looks like Moodle 2.0 will have a new 'Feedback' module... http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pDVzrUsKEBnChh0nn7-FTYA Maybe this will allow us to set templates for feedback?

It woudl really motivate/push on/remove excuses for staff. Not sure how to go about doing this and really need to find a cheap developer We have not really dipped our toes in the water but Mary Cooch has done some stuff http://www.twitter.com/moodlefairy and has an excellent youtube video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nq3das503-Q explaining it

Have you used it? One thing we'd really like to move on to it an activity where the students collaboratively develop the assessment criteria themselves. We'd probably do this step-wise; giving them the criteria the first time, then inviting them to comment on them and suggest appropriate changes, and finally getting them to produce them from scratch. Difficult thing to do with distance learners as you could really do with 100% participation to make it fair & democratic, etc. Difficult, but not impossible, huh...? ;-) Hi Gideon,

The moodle workshop has proved a great hit with our students and developing criteria to assess students by works really well. Peer assessment is not used enough in schools and it is something the students really enjoy doing. Students can upload a variety of tasks for assessment rather than the one "powerPoint" design. It places them firmly at the centre of their own learning and gives then a far greater involvement in how they learn Was wondering how much you have looked at the opportunities of using the criteria assessment/rubric and using the Lesson features for developing next steps with students?

Having said that, I would hope and expect that increasing this kind of activity at Bath would also increase the amount of 'buzz' coming out of AND coming in. Thanks for volunteering to come to Bath and run a workshop on Peer Teaching - I'll get my people to talk to your people :-D Hi Mark, thanks for this :-) I guess innovative assessment is just such a huge area I was imagining that there would already be goodness knows how many groups and networks set up on the topic already.
