PrESTO
A peer review and peer assessment system with incentives for high quality learning
The PrESTO system is a peer review and peer assessment tool that allows large numbers of students to practice open-ended assignments, while keeping the workload of the teaching staff manageable. PrESTO was originally developed for a quantitative modeling course, but is applicable to any course with open-ended assignments that can be divided into successive steps. The software organizes the peer review and peer assessment workflow, and guides the students through the activities required in each step: review, give feedback on and assess the work of an anonymous predecessor, and then improve and extend it with a next step.
The impact of MOOCs concerns not only the world outside the university, but more importantly also within the university. Especially for a traditional brick-and-mortar research-based university, like TU Delft, this is a big gain: education has become more important. In the past three years it has become clear that developing a MOOC has led lecturers to re-think their approach towards teaching and to integrate MOOC materials in campus education, which has impact on the way they teach on campus. MOOCs are used on campus in different ways, from a small addition to an existing course to a full integration into a completely redesigned campus course. Moreover, some teachers became conscious of the importance of educational resources under CC License and started to use material from other universities. One of the faculties created a course which uses MOOC materials to help the students to prepare for a master program. This paper describes the
