Marking moderation using online conferencing

Name: Diana Quinn and Zorica Nedic

Field or discipline: Engineering
Program: Bachelor of Engineering
Course: Electrical and Energy Systems EEET 1025
Year level: 1
Class size: 200
Activity type: Online marking moderation

Description: The online conferencing system, Centra, was used to conduct an assessment marking and moderation event for staff. Each of the students products were displayed (YouTube videos). Then each staff member could vote anonymously on the assessment criteria (which had been entered into the survey tool). This was converted into a mark. Text chat was used to record comments. The session was recorded and anyone can view by entering their email address when prompted (select Download as your option if your internet connection is not very fast).

Peer assessment will be conducted using a similar approach.

Application: this approach would suit anyone who is interested in using marking moderation particularly when the product to be assessed is more visual.
