Designing peer evaluation that promotes collaborative learning
12 July 2022 | 11:00AM - 12:30PM (AEST)
Have you explored the impact of peer-based evaluation on collaborative learning strategies?
The momentum of peer evaluation in higher education is growing, as education professionals negotiate its validity and reliability for boosting student learning during assessments.
Particularly for collaborative learning, peer assessment can: promote reflection on individual and team learning behaviours, offer opportunities to develop professional skills in providing evaluation and feedback, and discourage ‘free riders’ who fail to contribute.
This webcast will address alternative methods for setting up a peer evaluation system, the pros and cons of each approach, and the importance of scaffolding with clearly articulated rubrics. It will also demonstrate how Turnitin’s QuickMarks has the potential to be an academic’s most useful and efficient feedback tool, reducing marking time and helping identify key learning gaps for students.
- Discuss peer evaluation as a means of formative and/or summative assessment
- Decide on suitable peer evaluation criteria for your teaching and learning context
- Demonstrate how QuickMarks can assist a marker using Turnitin to reduce time spent marking
- Demonstrate how assessing the use of QuickMarks over time can assist in identifying knowledge gaps for a student group that can be resolved through teaching and measured at the conclusion of the semester
