8. Selected results & analysis
Engagement - how do students use the system?
Benefits - what is the impact on learning?
Question quality - how good is what students produce?

9. Typical implementation
Minimum participation requirements for each of two
assessment exercises (PW1, PW2)
Write 1 Answer 5 Rate / comment 3
5% course credit
Physics 101, Energy & Waves
Winter Semester: 3 sections, ~800 students
10. Not so typical implementation
Writing original questions is a
demanding activity
Extensive scaffolding exercises
Revisited in subsequent
tutorials

17. Engagement with PeerWise
Generally, students did
• Participate beyond minimum requirements
• Engage in community learning, correcting errors
• Create problems, not exercises
• Provide positive feedback
Generally, students did not
• Contribute trivial or irrelevant questions
• Obviously plagiarize
• Participate much beyond assessment periods
• Leave it to the last minute (sort of….)

Question/Explanation Quality
Score Level Description
0 Missing No explanation provided or explanation
incoherent/irrelevant
1 Inadequate Wrong reasoning and/or answer; trivial or flippant
2 Minimal
Correct answer but with insufficient
explanation/justification/ Some aspects may be
unclear/incorrect/confused.
3 Good Clear and detailed exposition of correct method &
answer.
4 Excellent
Thorough description of relevant physics and solution
strategy. Plausibility of all answers considered. Beyond
normal expectation for a correct solution

Results (UoE 2010-11)
2 successive years of the same course (N=150, 350)
‘High quality’ questions: 78%, 79%
Over 90% (most likely) correct, and 3/5 of those wrong were
identified by students.
69% (2010) and 55% (2011) rated 3 or 4 for explanations
Only 2% (2010) and 4% (2011) rated 1/ 6 for taxonomic level.

“9,713 assessment items submitted by 50 instructors in the
United States reported that 93% of the questions asked on
examinations in introductory biology courses were at the
lowest two levels of the revised Bloom’s taxonomy”
