Workshop module

A Workshop is a course peer assessment activity with many options. This module was removed from the standard Moodle in 1.9. Other modules such as assignment have some of its functionality.

Workshop allows participants to assess each other's projects, as well as exemplar projects, in a number of ways. It also coordinates the collection and distribution of these assessments.
