Virtual Peer Evaluation

Evaluation processes are affected by the ICT, as is the case in the educational process as a whole. Moreover, new variables appeared that affect the evaluation process in terms of the form and style of presentation, content material, ways and means used, as well as the environment in which evaluation processes occur. This was associated with all that is new in the technological world including the Internet, social networking, educational content management systems (LMS) and cloud computing. Other innovations in technology influence the world all the time. Thus, they come to affect the provision of tools and patterns that one should invest in a systematic and orderly education. Hence, the evaluation process has evolved to improve judgment on what students know and what they can do and to become effective learning tools. The purpose of this work was to design a network-based peer evaluation strategy and effects on problem solving and critical thinking skills.
