An E-Report Scoring Method based on Student Peer Evaluation using Groupware

Abstract

Nowadays, many universities utilize groupware support for students to post and share their e-reports, and the students can browse and vote other students' reports in e-learning. Teachers then need to evaluate all students' reports, but this will require a great deal of time and effort for a fair evaluation of the reports. Therefore, we propose an e-report scoring method based on student peer evaluation by considering the relationship between voting and posting time of the e-reports, to promote the quality of the votes and prevent unfair votes. Then, the method can provide scores of reports based on a voting graph by analyzing students who vote the reports. In this paper, we perform a student peer evaluation using groupware based on voting with a "Like" button in a course practice, and compare the results with teachers' evaluation.
