How To setup Peermark in Turnitin

Moodle Help & Support (Staff)

This refers to Moodle 3.2 from September 2017 onward.

Peermark is a peer assessment tool embedded within Turnitin that allows you to set additional anonymised assessment tasks to be completed by students based on a set evaluation criteria.  The marks that students give do not affect the overall grade of the student, it is more of a task to get students involved in the assessment process to help them better understand how to evaluate their own and others work. 

Add a Peermark assessment activity

You need to have created a Turnitin assignment dropbox as normal before you can add the Peermark activity (see How To create a Turnitin assignment dropbox).  The Peermark activity needs to be created before students start submitting to the dropbox.

1. Click on the Turnitin assingment dropbox. 
2. Beneath the Start, Due, Post dates and assignment summary click on the Peermark assignments icon (a green cogwheel):  
   
3. Click on the green + button to create a new Peermark assignment.
