Work in Progress: Self Evaluation Through Monitored Peer Review Using the Moodle Platform

We developed a module for the Moodle open-source eLearning platform through which undergraduate students can Build, Answer and Evaluate by blind peer review questions related to a course subject. In the first learning phase the students can build and submit questions. Selected questions are candidates for inclusion in later tests. After the test a reference solution and evaluation criteria is made public. The student´s answers are then randomly distributed so that each student has to evaluate at least three of his peer´s tests using double blind peer review. After all tests are cross-evaluated by the community of students, the system grades them by majority vote in each question. The need to: i) build meaningful questions; ii) present a correct answer; iii) state the evaluation criteria; iv) answer to subject-related questions; and finally v) evaluate; and vi) justify a grade attributed to a classmate, is a powerful community-aware context in which students develop competences on the subject´s topic while simultaneously have to reason about their learning process
