Workshop

Step 1 - Creating the Workshop

This step is intended to determine the settings of the activity and is visible only to the editor (teacher).

A. Workshop Name – It is recommended to give a clear and concise name.

B. Grading settings – The grading settings will determine how the evaluation form will look, and how the final grade will be calculated for all its components, in a given assignment. Please note: The grading strategy cannot be changed after the assignment has been submitted.

  • Grading Strategy:
    • Cumulative Grade - Comments and a grade are given in relation to the aspects specified
    • Comments - Given in relation to the aspects specified, but no grade can be given
    • Number of Errors - Comments and a True/False style assessment are given
    • Rubric - Performance assessment is given, in relation to pre-determined criteria

  • The student's grade in a workshop activity is the sum of:
    • Submission Grade: A grade calculated based on the weighted average of the grades given during the peer assessment process.
    • Evaluation score: A score is calculated automatically by checking the compatibility between the different assessments (of different participants). The calculation is done automatically.

Recommendation: Set the evaluation score and submission score to 100, and do the weighting in the general grade report.

 

Self-assessment can also be enabled.

C. Display settings - What will be displayed to the participant when they are asked to submit the work: submission settings and later assessment settings.
