Notas do Editor
- The WebPA project has been funded under the JISC: e-Learning Capital Programme. The life time of the project for the funded period is October 2006 to March 2009. However, as the project has been made open source the life time of the project is expected to continue after the funding period has ended. As identified by the project, the main aims have been to; Enhancement the online peer assessment system “WebPA” Provide a mature open source peer assessment system “WebPA OS” Sep’08 Disseminate models of pedagogic use Advance the service oriented approach for application development within the JISC e-Learning Framework All of which the project team have been able to achieve and more as well. The aim of the WebPA tool is to provide a mechanism through which the system …enables every team member to recognise an individuals contributions to the group work. Really we are talking about a peer moderated marking system for group work. WebPA was originally intended to measure the process of what occurs in group work out-side none contact time with the tutors. And allow the students to provide input into the assessment process to provide fairer individual marks for each group/ team member. However, there are no reasons why the tool can not be used to measure product as well. This is one of the real benefits of the tool, it is flexible enough to allow academic tutors to look at product or process through formative or summative assessment, from the groups (students) perspective.
