Abstract

Peer assessment is a technique that has been successfully employed in a variety of academic disciplines, and which is considered to be effective in developing student's higher cognitive skills. In this paper, we consider the results of applying novel web-based technology to the delivery of peer assessment in the context of an undergraduate computer programming course, and discuss the benefits of this approach.
