An Evaluation Framework for Extreme Learning Process (XLP)

This paper presents an evaluation framework for Extreme Learning Process (XLP), a crowd-learning process that utilizes version control tools, blog entries, and virtual currencies to digitally track and motivate participant learning. This evaluation framework assesses motivation, knowledge, creativity, and collaboration of XLP participants based on process data generated during a typical XLP-based learning activity. This paper applied this framework to assess an XLP session done at Tsinghua University. The results showed that participants who are more involved in digital publishing are more reputable and productive among fellow participants.
