[http://expertiza.ncsu.edu/ Expertiza] is an open source project based on [http://rubyonrails.org/ Ruby on Rails] framework. Expertiza allows the instructor to create new assignments and customize new or existing assignments. It also allows the instructor to create a list of topics the students can sign up for. Students can form teams in Expertiza to work on various projects and assignments. Students can also peer review other students' submissions. Expertiza supports submission across various document types, including the URLs and wiki pages. | |||

Peer-assessment systems have always been separate from peer-review systems used by journals and conferences.

In conference and journal review, anyone can submit a paper. When they do, an account is implicitly created for them.

Problem Statement
Peer-assessment systems have always been separate from peer-review systems used by journals and conferences. But the two systems have a lot in common: submitting and reviewing, and guidance given to reviewers in the form of a rubric. The main differences are how accounts are created and how reviewers are assigned. In a peer-assessment system, the instructor typically creates accounts for the whole class. Reviewers are assigned either by the instructor, or automatically by the system. In conference and journal review, anyone can submit a paper. When they do, an account is implicitly created for them. They may invite their co-authors to join them; this is kind of like inviting teammates in Expertiza, except that the co-authors don’t necessarily have pre-existing accounts either, and there is typically no maximum on the number of authors for a paper.
