A PROPOSED MODEL FOR PEER ASSESSMENT IN THE DIGITAL AGE: LEVERAGING SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS

Peer Assessment is a potentially promising pedagogical approach for enhancing the e-learning and supporting student self-regulated learning. The purpose of this paper is by reviewing the research on current trends on the use of ICT in Education, in particular on peer assessment in e-learning, to propose a new peer assessment methodology using the social media platforms in the digital environment. We conclude that a blended approach is more suitable as it is not possible to have a fully automatic peer assessment methodology. The proposed online model needs to be subject of particular careful monitoring and evaluation from teachers.
