Session 1: School Research and Practice in HE Seminar hosted by PBS Jill Barber, University of
Manchester and Chris
Chambers, Digital Assess Five
go marking an examination question: the use of adaptive comparative judgement
to remove subjective bias Comparative
judgement can be used to manage subjectivity in assessment, leading to
demonstrable fairness in the marking of open-ended questions, which are not
easily described by detailed marking schemes.
The assessor (or judge) merely compares two answers and chooses a
winner. The use of a suitable sorting algorithm means that repeated
comparisons lead to scripts sorted in order of merit. Boundaries are determined by separate
review of scripts. This session will
recount experiences of using this approach and will include a hands-on
workshop with the supporting software.

Abstract Session 2 Elaine Hemers, Liverpool John Moores
University, Using WebPA
for marking group work WebPA is an online
peer-moderated marking system that enables unique marks to be allocated to
individuals for group work assignments. Academic members of staff first
decide on an overall mark for each group before each student grades their
team-mates (and their own) performance. This grading is then used with the
overall group mark to provide each student with an individual grade that
better reflects each student’s contribution to the group. This session will
share experiences of using this approach and will include a hands-on workshop
with the supporting software. |
