Title
Designing, implementing and evaluating a self-and-peer assessment tool for e-learning environments
There is considerable evidence of student scepticism regarding the purpose of team assignments and high levels of concerns for the fairnesss of assessment when all team members receive the same grade. This chapter considers online self-and-peer assessment (SAPA) as a fair, valid and reliable method aof assessing team processes and individualising grades. A pilot studey is detailed that evaluated an online self-and-peer continuous assessment (SAPCA- a particular form of SAPA) tool originally developed for small classess of architecuture students. The tool wa adapted for large classess of up to 1,000 business communication students in a semster. THe student sample trialling SAPCA studies on three dispersed campuses, as well as in off-campus and off-shore modes. The cahpter proceeds from a literature review of SAPA, to a description of findings from four years of research, testin and development, and finally to a case study of SAPCA implementation with a total of 1,800 students enrolled in a business communication program.
