10. Group lab work CM3033 – physical chemistry Conductivity experiment Strong, weak, & unknown electrolytes Conductometric titrations Decide on method and work distribution Submit group report

11. WebPA is an open source online peer assessment tool that enables every team member to recognise individual contributions to group work http://www.webpaproject.com/

12. By using WebPA to peer assess group work, each student received an adjusted mark http://www.webpaproject.com/?q=node/125

13. How it works On-line survey time-keeping & preparedness contribution – lab & report problem solving safe lab working Care in taking measurements Students mark peers & themselves Normalise marks Weighting factor

18. Using WebPA Import students from MyAberdeen Create question form Lickert scale Share from 100%

21. Using WebPA Create assessment(s) Weighting (50%) Non-completion penalty Date criteria Email reminders

29. Problems? Student engagement /fears Non-submission Absent students Multiple deadlines – multiple assessments Mark in %

30. Thoughts It works! Relatively easy CAD / eLearning support Can spend more time marking report & giving detailed feedback Students like it

31. Next time… Better introduction to students Allay fears, introduce Graduate Attributes Student generated questions? What do students think are important? 100% weighting? Non-completion penalty?

32. Thank you for listening Questions?
