The University of Glamorgan places effective and timely Assessment and Feedback at the heart of its Learning Teaching and Widening Access Strategy 2011 - 2017 and includes the use of technology to support this. The use of Peermark as a tool to support peer marking online has already been piloted by the University of Glamorgan and in 2010/11 HEA Economics Network funded a project to evaluate the perceptions and experiences of international students using Peermark ‘Enhancing the international student experience with innovative assessment and feedback on postgraduate Economics studies at Glamorgan’. The event will present the findings from the study and will focus on the role of peer marking to facilitate and enhance the learning process in way which enables the student to improve his/her performance.
