Participatory Evaluation and Grading: Experiencing with Teachers

In this paper we describe: a) the participatory evaluation and grading (PG/E) method principles and algorithm that has been implemented within the on-line learning environment LIFE in two, untrusted (UPG/E) and trusted (TPG/E), versions; b) the outcomes of its use as part of the activities carried on to retrain K12 and high school teachers. The analysis of the outcomes of this case study preliminary to the transfer of the method into the schools evidenced a high level of appreciation and acceptance, as well as some indications for further improvements.
