ABSTRACT
StudySieve is an online tool in which students create and share assessment questions with their peers. The submitted questions can be answered, and all answers are visible to the entire community. Both the questions and answers are evaluated by students in a double-blind peer review process. This pedagogy, known as constructive evaluation, has been previously studied in the context of multiple-choice questions. The StudySieve tool described here, supports the construction and evaluation of free-response questions.

Supporting student-generated free-response questions
ITiCSE '11: Proceedings of the 16th annual joint conference on Innovation and technology in computer science educationAlthough a number of existing systems support student-generated multiple choice questions, such questions tend to focus on lower-order cognitive skills. Free response questions are frequently used to evaluate higher-order thinking, but supporting ...
