在扩大参与、扩大班级和增加多样性的背景下，对学生学习的评估越来越成问题，因为提供旨在发展学生写作的形成性反馈证明是特别费力的。虽然同行评估的潜在价值在文献中已有详细记载，但相关的行政负担，以及与管理匿名和知识产权有关的负担，使这一选择不那么有吸引力，特别是在大班中。一个可能的解决办法是利用信息和通信技术，以节省时间的方式使同行评估的后勤工作自动化。然而，高等教育界对这种系统的吸收是有限的，这方面的研究才刚刚开始。本案例研究报告使用Moodle研讨会模块对800多名学生的第一年宏观经济学入门课程中的学生个人工作进行形成性同行评估。通过对学生的期末评价调查收集数据。研究发现，使用功能丰富的讲习班模块不仅解决了与纸质同行评估有关的许多实际挑战，而且还提供了一系列其他备选办法，以提高纸质系统无法实现的同行评估的有效性和可靠性。
In the context of widening participation, large classes and increased diversity, assessment of student learning is becoming increasingly problematic in that providing formative feedback aimed at developing student writing proves to be particularly laborious. Although the potential value of peer assessment has been well documented in the literature, the associated administrative burden, also in relation to managing anonymity and intellectual ownership, makes this option less attractive, particularly in large classes. A potential solution involves the use of information and communication technologies to automate the logistics associated with peer assessment in a time-efficient way. However, uptake of such systems in the higher education community is limited, and research in this area is only beginning. This case study reports on the use of the Moodle Workshop module for formative peer assessment of students’ individual work in a first-year introductory macro-economics class of over 800 students. Data were collected through an end-of-course evaluation survey of students. The study found that using the feature-rich Workshop module not only addressed many of the practical challenges associated with paper-based peer assessments, but also provided a range of additional options for enhancing validity and reliability of peer assessments that would not be possible with paper-based systems.
