Abstract

In this paper, we investigate how peer assessment may support the student evaluation process through the various project elaboration phases. To this end, MyProject, a project-based learning environment that aims to support learners throughout the life cycle of a project, has been extended with: a a peer review process for the project final deliverables; b a mechanism allowing the provision of peer feedback in the form of agreement, disagreement or neutral. The literature review conducted to support this upgrade of MyProject concerned related work both on project-based learning and peer review systems. The empirical study conducted to investigate the effectiveness of the peer assessment functionalities of MyProject revealed that only a small sample of correct initial solutions may positively influence students' final deliverables through the peer review process. Students were also interested in having access to their peers' ideas although they do not spend much time in offering feedback.
