Evolution of Computer-Mediated Peer Review (CMPR) SystemsDespite proven benefits, integrating effective peer-review into a course requires much effort.Using computers to facilitate the process of peer-review was a logical progression. Early peerresponse systems made use of email exchanges among student reviewers. With digital advancesin the 1990s, CMPR systems – such as MUCH (Many Using and Creating Hypermedia, 1994) –automated allocation of files for review, stored responses, calculated results, and gave access topeer feedback.9 Also, Eschenbach exploited web-enabled software to integrate e-assessment inan engineering design course.10In the 2000s, increasing use of computers

incorporating communication into technical coursesmay be mitigated by the use of peer review; by setting students up in peer review sessions, they canread and comment on the work of others as a means to improving their own communication skills.Many of us who have employed peer review have seen the benefits firsthand.1-5 The process of readingand reviewing the written documents of other students—submitting their own documents to beassessed by other students, reviewing documents that try to fulfill the same assignment they havewritten—has a measurable impact on the student’s own writing. Studies of peer reviewing strategiesconfirm what many of us have seen in our own classrooms. The process for peer review, with fewexceptions, remains the same. Students

teachingcommunication are geared towards small class sizes and are difficult to adjust for large groups ofstudents. Directly scaling this approach would require a large number of qualified instructors—i.e., to support and assess students' communication activities—at a significant cost. Someresearchers have addressed these problems by developing online writing centers, resources andtutorials for communication skills4-7 .Online peer tutoring has also been suggested as a potentialapproach8. However, these efforts are still new and further investigations are necessary.Despite the increasing efforts, a large scale survey by Reave9 found that there is still a “large gapbetween the workplace needs and graduating engineers’ communication skills.” Based onReave’s work

But, in fact, classic work by Piaget on how children and adults learn shows that when learners engage with peers in critical discussion of ideas concerning which they have different understandings, that contributes very effectively to learners developing deep understanding of the concepts involved. At the same time, getting students in undergraduate engineering

ViP allows students to create, review, andevaluate oral presentations using a webcam and a PowerPoint presentation outside of lecturetime and still receive peer and academic feedback. The program has NO video or audio editingcapabilities and thus the presentation becomes closer to how live presentations are given. ViPfeatures a system to evaluate presentations, enabling the presenter to receive both technical andpresentation skills feedback from peers and lecturers.
