This research applies the techniques of collaborative annotating and data mining into formative assessments and further develops an annotation‐sharing and intelligent formative assessment (ASIFA) system as an auxiliary Web learning tool. The collaborative annotating technique is based on collaborative annotations made by peers while the data mining technique is used to identify the learning bottlenecks...
This paper describes a computer assisted assessment (CAA) case study within the context of an adult school for lifelong learners. The case study shows how to apply eQuestionnaires in competence oriented scenarios, especially for self-assessment activities (where learners have to know their proficiency level in order to further develop a competence) and for embedded-assessment activities (where an...
There are two compelling constraints on the delivery of effective engineering mathematics education at university: Decline in the mathematical preparedness i.e. confidence and ability of engineering students, and the predominance of the passive learning-leaning traditional lecture mode of instruction. In this paper, we present a formative teaching paradigm, consisting of the use of specific question...
This paper describes an investigation of web-based peer assessment undertaken by undergraduate students. The study endeavours to offer reasons for low levels of participation and suggest means for improving levels of engagement in peer-review processes. Results are based on formative peer assessments and a follow-up questionnaire completed by 36 computing students. The paper discusses the potential...
Remote education in developing countries is a challenging task. Pervasive learning is "always on" education that is available anywhere, at any time. It is a social process connecting learners to communities of devices, people, and situations, so that learners can construct relevant and meaningful learning experiences, that they author themselves. Collaborative learning is one of the components...
