Introduction

Expertiza is an open source web-based peer review system developed and maintained by students and faculty members at North Carolina State University. It has been developed as Open Source Software using Ruby on Rails framework. Expertiza allows students to form teams, review each other's work such as assignments and projects. It provides the role based access so that instructor can impose restriction what students can view/edit.

Motivation

Previous Implementation

  • When a student requests a review to perform, same reviews appear multiple times in a list of reviews.
  • The current system does not allow the students to update the reviews. They are only allowed to edit the reviews even if has already been submitted.
  • The system shows the reviewer that the work has not been submitted yet even when it has already been submitted.
  • The system fails and throws an error we edit an existing assignment and change the number of review rounds.
