Abstract

The main aim of this thesis work was to conduct a state of the art research of existing techniques of validating peer feedback in peer assessment. The student developed new strategies and ideas to develop a credibility matrix for all course students which will help teachers to speed up the feedback process in large scale peer assessment. Mr. Mehmood managed to do a good literature review to identify current research directions in peer assessment validation and related fields. The subsequently developed credibility matrix provides a one of a kind platform which aims at scaling the feedback process by reducing the teacher’s input in peer assessment.
