Ubiquitous Learning and Instructional Technologies MOOC’s Updates
Update #7 Describe and evaluate an innovative assessment approach or technology.
An innovative assessment approach would be to take away the exams and test given by teachers and allow the written discussions and comments to be graded/reviewed by peers and then the grade comes from the teachers overview of all the reviews. Which is something quite close to what we have done in the course. From this type of grading the students can learn and grow from eachother and the teachers can see which students are actually growing and learning.

I agree, this method would encourage peer assessment and allow students to reflect on their own work by seeing other students' opinions and ways of working for future assessments.
