• Experimental results:– Students felt they learned more
– Students enjoyed the exam more
– Students recommend it for future classes
• What students liked best– Active involvement in the (exam) process
– Flexibility to use any resources
– Reduction in tension

Issues• Issues for students
– Timing: drawn-out (2.5 weeks)– Learning curve to create problems, grade and dispute– Learning to use rubrics– Anonymity within online system– Trusting peers (good faith effort; good job)
• Trade-offs for teachers– Fewer solutions to evaluate, but each is different– Fitting into school schedule

– so far: short and long essay questions– what about: multiple choice, short answer, computer
programs, semester projects
• Which activities?– so far: exams, online discussion short essays– what about: quizzes, homeworks, larger projects, in-class
projects, other types of exams
• Which subjects?
• Team involvement in each CLASS stage
