WebPAS: Web-based Peer Assessment System


The aim of this group project is to develop a web-based peer assessment system that provides the following support:


  1. 1.The module convenor can create groups composed of individual students


  1. 2.Individual students can submit peer assessments of other group members


  1. 3.The module convenor can enter a group mark and automatically derive an individual mark based on peer assessments


  1. 4.The module convenor can change the weighting factors to derive a different set of marks.



The system’s key user requirements are as follows:



Module convenor requirements:

  1. 1.Create a peer assessment page for a specific module


  1. 2.Specify a cut off date for the submission of peer assessments


  1. 3.Create groups associated with the module


  1. 4.Import student name and I.D. from CSV file or add manually


  1. 5.Assign students to a module group by name and student I.D.


  1. 6.Delete students from a group


  1. 7.See a list-based overview of all groups


  1. 8.See groups that have not completed peer assessment


  1. 9.See a list-based overview of all members in a group


  1. 10.See individual students in a group who have not completed peer assessment


  1. 11.Enter a group mark


  1. 12.Automatically calculate individual marks for group members based on their peer assessment


  1. 13.Automatically recalculate individual marks across a group based on a new scaling of weighted assessment factors


  1. 14.Edit individual peer assessments


  1. 15.Export student name, I.D., group mark and peer assessed mark to CSV file


  1. 16.View graph of average mark and individual marks


  1. 17.Delete all peer assessments associated with a specific module




Student requirements:

  1. 1.Login to the online peer assessment site using name and student I.D.


  1. 2.Enter peer assessments for each group member. The following factors must be scored:


    Research and Information gathering

    Creative input

    Cooperation within group

    Communication within group

    Quality of individual contributions

    Attendance at meetings


  1. 3.Peer assessment factors must be scored in terms of the following categories:


    None

    Lacking

    Adequate

    Good

    Excellent


  1. 4.All factors must be scored or peer assessments will not be recorded (the student should be notified of this before logging out)


  1. 5.The student must also add comments (up to 1000 characters, no spaces) for each peer assessment or results will not be recorded (the student should be notified of this before logging out)


  1. 6.The student must confirm that the assessment has been completed before log out or no results will be recorded (the student should be notified of this before logging out)
