Activity — Workshop (peer review)
Students submit work, then anonymously peer-review each other against a rubric.
What it is
A Workshop is a peer-assessment activity that runs in phases — Submission → Peer review → Closed. Students first submit their work, then each anonymously reviews a set of classmates against your rubric (every criterion scored 1–5). A student’s grade is the average of the peer reviews they receive.
How to add it
- In Course content, click Add activity in a topic.
- Pick Workshop (peer review).
Build the rubric — one row per criterion (a title, plus an optional "what reviewers should look for") — and set Reviewers per submission (default 3) (configMode: workshop).
- Click Add to course.
You advance the phases from the teacher panel inside the activity. Once the workshop leaves the Submission phase, the rubric and reviewer count lock and can no longer change.
What students see
Students open the workshop inside the course (openMode: viewer) and see the current phase. In Submission they write and submit their work (and can resubmit until review starts). In Peer review they get anonymous submissions to score against the rubric, with optional per-criterion and overall comments. In Closed they see their grade — the average of the peer reviews.
Grading & completion
- A Workshop is gradable; the peer-review average reaches the gradebook via completion (gradeSource: completion). Completion tracking is manual by default and set per activity.
