Abstract

Increasingly, teamwork is considered an essential part of the syllabus in higher education to help promote deep and meaningful learning as well as graduate skills such as communication and collaboration. However, in many cases students are unhappy with teamwork activities, as they consider the distribution of marks to be unfair. Usually, all the team members receive the same mark, regardless of the amount of effort, or quality of work each individual has contributed. This paper profiles the design, development and evaluation of an on-line tool used to help promote a fair and equitable team environment through the use of student contracts and self/peer assessment strategies to help motivate equitable student participation. The model is supported with online technology to help create an easy and confidential manner in which peer feedback can be collated. The application has been endorsed by an Australian Universities Teaching Committee funded project and can be freely downloaded.
