Abstract

PeerWise is a web-based system that allows multiple-choice question banks to be built solely from student input. The system provides a number of intrinsic reward structures that encourage students to contribute high-quality questions in the complete absence of instructor moderation. Several opportunities for learning arise, spanning the range from simple drill-and-practice exercises to deep, reflective study. Affective skills are also developed, as students are challenged to give and receive critical feedback and provide quality judgements. The system is freely available, and has been used in a range of disciplines in two Universities.
