E-Teaching Portfolio to Realize Ubiquitous Peer Reviewing Process in Higher Education

Abstract

This system development enabled an ubiquitous peer review and reuse of reviewer comments to assess teaching/learning in higher education. The purpose of this project was two-fold: (1) to record and store reviewer annotations on streaming class lecture as time sequence data, and (2) to identify key principles and criteria from annotated video data to assess and evaluate the quality of teaching and learning (e-teaching portfolio). The evaluation studies were conducted to gain a broad understanding of how reviewers identify and recorded the educational events effectively and appropriately during “lesson study (Jyugyo kenkyu)” when using this system. The collection and analysis of reviewers' annotations indicated that this system is capable of reusing collected comments in order to suggest weak and strong points in class lectures from different reviewers' perspectives.
