Peer Assessment Using Aropa

Hamer, J., Kell, C. and Spence, F.

Arop�a is a web-based peer assessment support tool that has been used extensively in a wide variety of settings over the past three years. We describe the design of Arop�a and how it can be configured, and present some results from a research study into the use of peer assessment in large undergraduate courses. There is evidence to show that while students find peer assessment challenging, it can be an effective aid to learning. The study also reveals marked differences in attitude toward peer assessment between different student bodies.
