2.1.3. Why should we design peer assessment activities in VLE?

From the pedagogical point-of -view, it:

• Enables an in-depth understanding of the proposed learning activities; 
• Allows for more comprehensive self-awareness and monitoring of the students’ own learning;
•  Increases transparency in assessment, given that it is not teacher-centered; 
• Enhances the students’ engagement.

From the technological point-of-view, it:

• May be more agile because of the technical solutions offered to design assessment criteria and indicators; 
• Favors the assessment of the learning process; thus, allowing for just-in-time feedback from the teacher; 
• Facilitates feedback provision anytime and anywhere.
