Guidelines for TEACHERS - Recommended tools _v.0.1: Workshop

26. Workshop

The Workshop activity in Moodle is an advanced tool for peer assessment, allowing students to submit their own work (text, files, projects, etc.) and evaluate the work of their peers based on criteria defined by the teacher.

Structured in phases: setup, submission, assessment, grading calculation, and closure.
Students receive two grades: one for their own submission and one for the quality of the assessments they provide to others.
The teacher defines detailed assessment criteria using guides or rubrics.
It helps develop critical thinking, analytical skills, and responsibility in collaborative learning.
It can be used for complex tasks such as projects, essays, presentations, or case studies.

This activity is ideal for promoting active learning and encouraging reflective student participation in peer evaluation.
