SELFEVALUATION
Occurs when learners assess their own
performance. Advantages -Students learn to:?Objectively reflect on and critically evaluate their own progress and skill development.?Identify gaps in their understanding and capabilities.?Discern how to improve their performance.?Learn independently
and think critically.
EXPERT EVALUATIONTraditional grading technique in which the
instructor examines the solution of the student.Advantages-?Assures correct evaluation.?highly reliable.?higher satisfaction among students.
AUTOGRADE
Makes use of external auto grader service.
Advantages-
?Highly efficient.?
?Accurate for checking program codes and multiple choice
questions(MCQ).?
?Faster results.
PEER EVALUATION
Process in which students or their peers' grade assignments or tests based on a teacher's benchmarks.
Advantages -?Empower students to take responsibility for, and manage, their own learning.
?Enable students to learn to assess and to develop life-long assessment skills.?Enhance students' learning through knowledge diffusion and
exchange of ideas.?Motivate students to engage with course
material more deeply.
Features of peer evaluation in PEAS?Calibration?Optimal Distribution of reviewers is done to maintain the uniformity of the review process.?Peer Review is the grading process where each reviewer grades the peer in accordance to the rubrics.?Normalisation?Incentive Mechanism to promote honest grading.
Calibration The calibration method is employed in the beginning when no user profile is maintained. The different calibration techniques supported are : lPeer calibration lExpert calibration lNo calibration (random grouping)
Normalization PEAS uses a normalization method to ensure fair grades, which is used to eliminate problems of student being generous and biased in giving scores.

SELF EVALUATIONThe main objective of this module is to promote learning among students. There are two different self grading models in PEAS:
? Pure self (for learning purpose only) Hybrid self (for learning as well as grading)
Hybrid Self Evaluation?Normalization-It is used to prevent self over grading .?Incentive mechanism-Incentive to ensure students follow rubrics guidelines and do honest grading.
ü EXPERT EVALUATIONHere, the instructor of the course can himself evaluate the students' submissions. PEAS uses Instructor grading for:?Solving discrepancy in case of marks issue/student dissatisfaction.?Providing training dataset to Machine Learning Algorithms.?Provides reliable grades to students.
ü AUTOGRADER
PEAS has an auto grading module which makes use of external auto grader service for grading assignments. ? Uses Discern API of edX to use its EASE auto grading library for essays.? Incorporates programming language compilers to auto grade programming codes.
FUTURE SCOPE
?
a separate grading module.?PEAS API will be released as an open source grading interface.
PEAS can be integrated with edX as
Objective:?To provide highly reliable/accurate assessment.?To allocate a balanced and limited workload across students and course staff.?It should be scalable to class sizes of tens or thousands of students.?PEAS applies broadly to a diverse collection of problem settings.
Our evaluation system PEAS
?Provides highly reliable/accurate assessment.?Allocates a balanced and limited workload across students and course staff.?Scalable to class sizes of tens or thousands of students.
