Abstract

Modern day education and learning has moved on from brick and mortar institutions to open learning environments. This recent shift in education has had its effects on the field of assessment and feedback as well. The traditional methods of assessment are being replaced by new methods from the field of open assessment. One such assessment method for open learning environments is peer assessment. Peer assessment is a crowd sourcing technique which lessens the teacher workload and gives students a voice in the assessment process. Despite being the leading assessment method in open learning environments, the tools available for peer assessment are lagging far behind. Most peer assessment tools are context and domain specific which hinders their uniform adoption across different fields of study. This paper introduces the core peer assessment module in the Peer Assessment & Learning Assessment System (PALAS). The module is a flexible, customizable and multi-dimensional peer assessment system which allows the teachers to configure the peer assessment process according to their liking and requirements without any changes required to the system design.
