Judging of the Projects
All projects will be judged:
1) By the official judges
2) By peer evaluation
Peer evaluation will account for one third of the final score.
Peer Evaluation Guidelines
Why Peer Evaluation?
This process gives teachers the opportunity to assist students to evaluate
web sites in a comprehensive and systematic manner, encouraging them to
explore the good and bad aspects of a site in some depth. It encourages
students to use more than the usual "OK" "good" or "yuk"
to describe the attributes of a web site. This evaluation process is a valuable
learning experience which can be transferred to many other situations.
The Process
As part of the judging process each entrant must critically evaluate
another entry using the Evaluation Rubric set out below. Check the grid
to see who you are to evaluate.
Apply approximate age/grade appropriate criteria to each category. (ie.
a site created by a year 3 group may not be as accomplished as one done
by a Computing Studies student, but may deserve a very high mark if it is
excellent work for that age group.)
The two main areas of content and presentation will be considered in
the judging to find good projects which are both visually and contextually
rich. Therefore when calculating the final score for an entry the sum of
the contents categories will be multiplied by the sum of the presentation
categories.
A project that has moderate scores in both areas will score higher overall
than a project that is high in one area and low in the other.
Sample Score Sheet

What Must You Do?
You MUST evaluate the site allocated to you. Entrants who do not evaluate
another site will not have their own entry included in the final judging.
- Check that your entry is on the web.
- Check the table in the Peer Evaluation Guidelines section of the Multimedia
Christmas card site to see who you need to evaluate.
- Read Peer Evaluation Guidelines and print a copy to use while evaluating
the site.
- Go to the gallery and view entries.
- Evaluate your allocated entry.
- Complete the score sheet that will be emailed to you (similar to the
Sample Score Sheet above) and include your own scores and information.
- Include some constructive comments.
- Email the results to the project coordinator by 5pm Wednesday 11th
December.
- Email the results to the school so that they get some direct feedback
on their entry.
How to Evaluate a Site
- Distribute copies of the Peer Evaluation Rubric to students.
- Explain and discuss the vocabulary and meaning of the criteria with
the students.
- Have students practice by evaluating their own site (if time permits)
- Have students review and discuss the site.
- Come to a group consensus about the scores and comments you will assign.
Peer Evaluation Rubric
Consider each of the elements within the category being evaluated. Use
the following guide to help determine a score for the category.
- If the site includes all of these elements and each is well covered
give a 4 or a 5.
- If the site includes most of these elements, but some are not well
covered give a 3 or a 4.
- If the site includes some of these elements and they are all well covered
give a 3 or a 4.
- If the site includes only some of these elements, and some of them
are not well covered give a 2 or a 3.
- If the site includes few of these elements but they are all well covered
give a 2 or a 3.
- If the site includes few of these elements and they are not well covered
give a 0 or a 1.
