Abstract
Universities and professional bodies recognize the educational benefits of getting students to work in groups in several projects across their degrees. However, staff and students have concerns about the fairness of the traditional assessment, when all members of the team get the same mark. In particular, this leads to poor student experience and numerous complaints of ‘free ridders’, significantly affecting the NSS scores. The IPAC Consortium was formed to look into the use of Individual Peer Assessment of Contribution (IPAC) to group work. We present the different areas in which we have been working, e.g. from the basics of the methodology to the various specifics during implementation, literature review, collection of staff and student perception at UCL, review of software/platforms to run the method, tests and case studies within UCL, guidelines, development of a customizable and easy tool to run IPAC, etc. We will also consult the audience for additional priority areas that we should explore and invite them to the Consortium.
