Workshop

A workshop enables the collection, review and peer assessment of students' work. It is not usually suitable for a standalone course that does not have tutor support.

Students can submit any digital content (files), such as word-processed documents or spreadsheets and can also type text directly into a field using the text editor.

Submissions are assessed using a multi-criteria assessment form defined by the teacher. Learners can practise the process of peer assessment and the assessment form in advance with example submissions provided by the teacher, together with a reference assessment. Learners are given the opportunity to assess one or more of their peers' submissions. Submissions and reviewers may be anonymous, if required.

Your learners obtain two grades in a workshop activity: one for their submission and one for their assessment of their peers' submissions. Both grades are recorded in the gradebook.

Instructions for setting up an online workshop are being compiled.

To manage a workshop in your course you will need to have either the Course Manager or Teacher role. To gain these roles you would need to complete a data declaration form – please contact openlearncreate@open.ac.uk to request one.
