In (web-based) collaborative learning, practitioners increasingly stress the need to acknowledge individual efforts. To this end, peer assessment is regarded as a valuable tool. Research, however, shows shortcomings in the calculations and flexibility of peer assessment formats that are used to transform a group score into individual scores. This chapter proposes an innovative approach by presenting peer assessment formats that underlie sound formulas, but moreover allow flexibility in peer assessment design. Subsequently, the effects of the formats on individual scores are investigated. The results reveal that our formulas and formats outweigh ‘traditional’ practices to utilise peer assessment for transforming a group score into individual scores. Guidelines for practitioners on the application of peer assessment formats are presented, as well as an outline for a research agenda with a strong focus on the development of flexible peer assessment in (web-based) collaborative based learning.

A recent report from the EDUCAUSE Centre for Applied Research highlights that students are integrating smart technologies and web-based tools into their academic experience (ECAR, 2011). With this in mind, the Intuitive Resources project at University College Falmouth created and evaluated the use of High Definition (HD) learning videos. These videos may be accessed by mobile/smartphone technologies and have been designed with close consideration of curriculum delivery and assessment in studio-based projects.Key to students' experience and successful learning in studio-based courses is the input by skilled technical instructors (TIs). TIs provide thorough induction and on-going support on complex equipment and techniques. In many instances there may a significant lapse between induction sessions and students' application of the technical skills, resulting in a high level of individual follow-up support. This on-going support is necessarily situated within the studio context and is reliant on the availability of staff and equipment and may cause students to falter in their projects until technical support becomes available.This paper shares the design and development of the Intuitive Resources project and reviews evaluative feedback from staff and students on how access to technical instruction and improved technical competence has had impact on students'URL http://goo.gl/skpYT

Identifying learning problems of students has been recognized as an important issue for assisting teachers in improving their instructional skills or learning design strategies. The accumulated assessment data provide an excellent resource for achieving this objective. However, most of conventional testing systems only record students' test results, which are not helpful to teachers in realizing students' learning problems without further assistance. To cope with this problem, in this study, an innovative approach that combines a student concept model and the change mining mechanism is proposed to analyze the learning problems of students from their historical assessment data. The teachers received the analysis results and then used those suggestions to improve their instructional strategies. To evaluate the performance of the proposed approach, a web-based learning assessment system has been developed and an experiment has been conducted on an “Introduction to Computers” course in a university. The experimental results showed that, those analysis results provided by the innovative approach were helpful to the teachers in providing appropriate instructional assistance and remedial learning materials for improving the learning achievements of the students.

<blockquote>As knowledge rapidly expands and accumulates, training and assessing students' information searching ability for solving problems on the Internet has become an important and challenging issue. This research aims to improve the web-based problem solving abilities of primary school students by employing an information summarising approach for improving their skills in using keywords and extracting proper information. Moreover, a web-based learning environment is employed to record and analyse the online information searching behaviours of students. An experiment has been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of this innovative approach. The experimental results show that the information summarising training significantly improved the performance of the students in the experimental group in terms of using keywords, selecting information resources and extracting important content. Therefore, it was concluded that the innovative approach has a significant impact on promoting the web-based problem solving abilities of students.</blockquote>

Inaccessibility to clinical supervision is an issue faced by solo clinical psychologist practitioners. To overcome this problem, the authors described the innovative combination use of web-based instant messaging application and video call application in conducting a peer-led group tele-supervision among 28 clinical psychologists, including WhatsAppTM, SkypeTM and ZoomTM. The regular peer clinical supervision group started since October 2017 and it served as a platform to: 1) address important clinical care related issues, 2) discuss case assessment and management, 3) provide technical instruction, 4) explore resistance and analyse countertransference, 5) provide emotional support, and 6) share knowledge and update guidelines. The challenges include: 1) difficulty of facetime session arrangement, 2) limited time for in-depth discussion, 3) internet connection issue, and 4) dilemma on documentation. With more than one year of experience of using this tele-supervision model, it is seen to be a potential solution for other resource-scarce developing countries and other clinical disciplines although more structured and larger prospective studies are required.
