The increasing use of mobile phones by students at university has prompted the development of MODAss, a formative...
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...
Web-based training gains popularity due to the pervasiveness of Web applications, abundant hyper media contents, and other attractive attributes.

This work reports on the development of a novel software tool, namely Module for Adaptive Assessment of Students or MAAS for short, for adaptive multi-user Web-based assessment. The framework of Bayesian decision theory has been used for sequential mastery testing to classify students as masters or non-masters based on their responses to adaptively selected test items. MAAS applies a naive Bayesian...
