Workshop is activity in LATTE that instructors can use to facilitate the collection, allocation, review and peer assessment of students’ work. The workshop activity is divided into five separate phases:
To set up your first workshop complete the following steps:
We recommend careful consideration of the settings you want to use before making the workshop visible to students.
To complete the Setup Phase select the link to edit the assessment form.
This page allows you to provide guidelines for the Assessment Phase of the workshop. Upon completion select save and close.
You can enter guiding text for different aspects or grading criteria of the assignment for students to assess and leave feedback about.
Any Aspects that you select but leave blank will not appear for students during the assessment phase of the workshop.
Select the link to Switch the workshop to the submission phase.
This phase is divided into the following parts:
This step was completed during the Setup Phase
During this phase the Workshop is open and students can submit their assignments. Students will be able to view the phases of the workshop from their screens and see the directions for the workshop and any directions for the assignment. They will select the brown Add Submissions button to upload their assignments.
Selecting this link will take you to a screen that provides three options for allocating reviewers to each student submission.
1. Manual Allocation - use this if you want to make all choices on which student reviews another's submission. Although the Visible Groups menu may be used to limit which students you see on the page, you may assign students from different groups to each other's work. You will not be able to assign any students, however, until you get your first submission.
2. Random Allocation of Submissions -use this if you want allocations handled by Moodle. The following parameters can be adjusted to achieve the desired settings:
3. Scheduled Allocation - automatically schedule random allocation at the end of the submission phase. 
Select Switch to the next phase. You will see the following message in a pop-up window: You are about to switch the workshop into the Assessment phase. In this phase, reviewers may assess the submissions they have been allocated (within the assessment access control dates, if set).
During this phase students can access other students' assignments and follow the guidelines provided to leave helpful feedback. The Workshop grades report can be used to track what feedback scores students have left for their students(Since the instructor is using only comments and not grades, students earn full credit for reviewing and leaving feedback on two assignments.) You can select the links to monitor student submissions and peer feedback that is given and received by selecting the blue links under each column.
When you are ready, select the link to switch the workshop to the Grading Evaluation Phase.
The Workshop will automatically calculate a grade for students when they submit the assignment. You can select the link to the student submission to view their work and leave comments and feedback for the author. If the submission is unique or impeccable and you want everyone in the class to view it you can select the option to Publish submission. You can also override and manually adjust the grade students receive for submitting an assignment.
Selecting the links under the categories for Grades received or Grades given allows the instructor to view and assess the peer feedback that each student is receiving and leaving.
The Grades are automatically calculated by the Workshop tool, but there are options to override the auto calculated score and leave comments and feedback for the peer feedback portion of the workshop.
This step can get complicated depending upon the type of peer assessment you are having students do. Since we chose comments only, students earned the full potential points for this assignment by submitting their assignment(Submission grades) and for leaving feedback on two other students’ assignments(Assessment grades).
Under Grading Evaluation settings there is a setting, Comparison of assessments, in which the teacher can adjust the strictness level that compares and combines the assessment scores together. This plays a greater role when incorporating scoring in the workshop, especially if there are numerous reviewers. 
Selecting the brown button to calculate grades will assign grades to students.
The next step is to select Switch to the Next Phase which will close the workshop and make the grades and more importantly, the feedback available to students. The conclusion statement you entered when creating the document will now show for you and for the students.
Students will see the conclusion statement that you created during the Setup phase. Students will also view their grades for submitting the assignments and their grade for the assessments they completed.
By selecting the link to their submission, students can see the feedback that has been left for them by other students.
The feedback is anonymous meaning that students know which papers they left feedback for, but they don’t know who left feedback on their paper.
