FD Commons: E-Teaching Portfolio to Enable an Ubiquitous Peer Reviewing Process

This system development enables ubiquitous peer review and reuse of reviewer comments to assess teaching/learning in higher education. The purpose of this project is two-fold: (1) to develop applications for recording and storing reviewer annotations on streaming class lectures as time sequence data of pen-tip coordinates, and (2) to identify key principles and criteria from annotated video data to assess and evaluate the quality of teaching and learning (e-teaching portfolio). The evaluation studies were conducted to gain a broad understanding of how reviewers identify and record educational events effectively and appropriately during ldquolesson study (Jyugyo kenkyu)rdquo when using this system. The collection and analysis of reviewers´ annotations indicated that this system is capable of reusing collected comments in order to suggest weak and strong points in class lectures from different reviewers´ perspectives.
