Peer assessment augmented with digital badges: A first experience report

Abstract

In this paper we introduce an approach for using peer assessment augmented with digital badges in a project-based learning scenario. We present preliminary results from a students' questionnaire showing that the project was a real success in terms of learner satisfaction. Peer assessment and badges were perceived mostly positive by the students. We also propose several improvements, which could eliminate technical and procedural issues and boost students' satisfaction with the peer assessment system in the future.
