================================================ WebPA - An Online Peer Assessment System for HE Copyright (c) 2004-2013, Loughborough University ================================================ What is it? =========== WebPA is an online peer assessment system, or more specifically, a peermoderated marking system. It is designed for teams of students doing groupwork, the outcome of which earns an overall group mark. Each student in a group 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. The individual grade reflects the students contribution to the group. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Getting Started =============== First, you'll need to install and configure WebPA. Details of the installation process can be found in the file: install.txt ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Licensing ========= Please see the file called licence.txt. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contributing ============ WebPA is Open Source and licensed under the GPL.

Please see the Contributors section on <http://webpaproject.lboro.ac.uk/> for more information on contributing code. * Documentation - We are slowly working on documentation, but any help is greatly appreciated. Anyone interested in helping out should visit the Documentation section on <http://webpaproject.lboro.ac.uk/> * Testing - As with every software application, there are bound to be bugs. We think the system is stable enough to use, but we are always looking for more testers; people to use WebPA that expose bugs. The more bugs we find and fix, the better off the package is.
