The evaluation of forms of assessment using n-dimensional filtering.

By Boyne, Chris; Dron, Jon; Mitchell, Richard
Publication: International Journal on E-Learning
Date: Friday, October 1 2004

This article describes an unusual approach to the evaluation of the effectiveness of assessed coursework provided for a group of graduate students at the University of Brighton, UK. It makes use of metadata exposed and created by the students to discover common values and attitudes to the work that they are required to perform. These metadata are the product of a Web-based system known as CoFIND (Collaborative Filter in N Dimensions).
