| Description | PeerWise allows students to create a repository of multiple choice questions which can be attempted by their peers, and discussed between them online. Peer-Wise has been shown to foster deep learning and to improve students ’ performance. In this paper, we con-sider the nature of the repository created by a large, first year programming class, looking in particular at the quality attributes of Coverage, Question Quality, Difficulty and Indexing. The effect of student ability (as measured by a class test given before use of Peer-Wise) on the contributions to the repository is also investigated. We find that the overall quality of the repository is good, with only a few minor deficiencies, and conclude that these small defects are a small price to pay when compared with the substantial learning benefits that result from PeerWise use. |
