Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates grading of a quiz on a computer system by a human grader. This system operates by receiving responses to the quiz from at least one person taking the quiz, and then storing the responses for later retrieval. Next, upon receiving a request from a grader to grade the responses to the quiz, the system retrieves the responses, and displays them to the grader on a computer display. The system then receives receiving grading results from the grader, and associates the grading results with the responses. In one embodiment of the present invention, the system displays the responses ordered by question, so that for a given question, responses to the given question are displayed together, thereby enabling the grader to grade all responses to the given question before grading another question. In a variation on this embodiment, the responses are displayed so that the grader does not know the identity of a person who answered a given question.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates a peer review process for a computer-based activity, such as a computer-based quiz. Upon receiving a computer-based activity to be evaluated, the system makes the computer-based activity available on a computer system coupled to a network, so that the computer-based activity can be accessed by a plurality of evaluators operating from remote computer systems across the network. Upon receiving evaluations from the plurality of evaluators, the system tabulates the evaluations to produce an evaluation result. In one embodiment of the present invention, the computer-based activity includes one of: a computer-based quiz; a computer-based examination; and a computer-based game.
