Peer Assessment System for Modern Learning Settings: Towards a Flexible E-Assessment System

According to the rapid changes in our life styles and in order to cope with the new requirements for modern learning settings and activities, several applications have been developed to provide our modern society with these learning settings. E-assessment as a main part of e-learning has been affected by these new settings and new aspects such as peer assessment have become more and more im- portant. In this paper, we will present a computer-assisted peer assessment system that can be used to improve the learning process. An overall architecture will be presented and an experiment has been conducted. First findings will be discussed and future work will be mentioned.
