Peer assessment in the first French MOOC : Analyzing assessors' behavior
نویسندگان
چکیده
Given the increasing number of students registering to MOOCs for free, course instructors who want to go beyond automated evaluation have no choice but to use peer assessment. Despite the increasing use of peer evaluation, very little is known regarding the factors that influence assessors’ engagement in the process. Based on two editions of Introduction to Project Management, the first French xMOOC, we explored the impact of learners’ background on their engagement in peer assessment. We observed that registrants that took part in peer evaluation differed significantly from other participants in regards to time constraints and demographic variables such as geographical origin.
