Abstract

A web-based peer-assessment system for enhancing students' creativity and animation skills is presented. Through a quasi-experiment instruction, this paper was to examine the learning effects of the system with mechanisms of diverse assessment. Participants were 88 sophomores of 2D animation courses taught by the same instructor. A two-way ANOVA was conducted to analyze the independent variables by self-regulation (high vs. low) and perceived initiative (stronger vs. weaker) on project performance as the dependent variables. The results revealed that (a) there are no significantly interactions between self-regulation and perceived initiative, (b) students of the high-group of self-regulation outperformed the low-group on the peer assessment, (c) students who showed stronger initiative outperformed the weaker ones on the tutor assessment, (d) most of the learners showed positive attitude toward peer-assessment.
