CSC/ECE 517 Fall 2021 - E2155. Calibration submissions should be copied along with calibration assignments
Project Overview
Introduction
Expertiza is an open-source education and classroom web-tool founded by the National Science Foundation. Built with Ruby on Rails, it is designed to manage complete courses and students’ work within those courses. Each course can have a collection of instructors and students, though the interaction between instructors and students is minimal. The real emphasis of Expertiza is placed on peer-to-peer interactions, fostering a student-driven learning environment. Courses are comprised of assignments which users complete individually or with a team. Assignments usually encourage or require a team to enforce practicing peer-to-peer interaction.
Background
To improve the experience of peer reviewing and to find out the competent reviewers among all the reviewers, designing a new form of review for assignments seems to be a fix. As a result, "calibration assignment" was introduced to the Expertiza system. The calibration assignment should be assigned before the peer review so that the students can know if they reviewed using the same rubrics as the instructor. To set up the calibration assignment that allows both the instructor and the students of the course to review, the instructor needs to create a new assignment and add the extra participant manually, impersonate the participant then submit the review, which is not a great experience.
Objectives
To fix the issue of setting up the calibration assignment repeatedly every semester, the system should be able to make a copy of the previous calibration assignment and let the instructor submit a review as the extra participant by selecting calibration training when the instructor creates the assignment.
Previous Implementation
In the previous implementation, the calibration review was designed as part of the assignment and students should be able to participate in calibration review training before reviewing other students' work.
The instructor can enable the calibration review in each assignment by checking the box before "Calibration for training?".
CSC/ECE 517 Fall 2017/E17A4 Allow calibration to be part of an assignment
Issues of Previous work
- If any student submits a review before completing the calibration review training, the first review submitted will be stored at directory 0, where the calibration review was supposed to be stored.
