A workshop provides a place for the students in a class to see an example project, upload their individual projects, and see and assess each other's projects. When a teacher requires each student to assess the work of several other students, the workshop becomes a powerful collaborative grading tool.
Workshops can be ungraded, peer graded, instructor graded, or a combination of peer and instructor graded. Workshops enable you to create very specific assessment criteria for the graders to use. Also, workshops let you set the due dates for submitting work, and for grading work. You can use these and other features to build a strategy for making best use of workshops in your courses.
