Peer and self assessment
Again, this is an area with a lot of potential, which technologies can help you with.
An example of a workshop activity has been set up in this topic if you are interested in peer assessment, ie giving your students the option to evaluate another student's work.
Some lecturers are uncomfortable with the idea of 'giving away marking rights' to their students, for fear that the final grades will not be a true reflection of the outcome.
A fair amount of research done already shows that students tend to have sound judgment if placed in the right conditions.
The Workshop activity can help you with this as you can allocate a grade to how well the peer assessment was done, for instance give a maximum grade of 40 for the peer assessed work and a maximum grade of 60 for how well the peer assessment was made. That way you are putting a lot of weight on how well they can judge a piece of work.
Self-assessment is similar to peer assessment in that it is about getting students to be more critical (in a constructive fashion) with their work. I have seen fairly dramatic improvements after this exercise was carried out with less confident students. You may want to read this case study.
