What is it about?

This paper analyses the usefulness of e-rubrics for peer assessment of resources and materials for foreign language teaching and for assessing language skills, based on the work of 99 students of a master's degree in ICT applied to language teaching and processing at the Spanish National University for Distance Education (UNED) in 2012-2013 and 2013-2014. It uses virtual collaborative action research, text frequency techniques and social network analysis.

Why is it important?

The results indicate that e-rubrics improve self-assessment and the adequacy of assessment criteria, and help evaluate the format and connectivity of audiovisual elements in online resources. E-rubrics are also seen as effective indicators of progress in oral and written production in foreign language learning.

Perspectives

Written with Elena Martín Monje and Esteban Vázquez Cano, this article continues our work on e-rubrics and peer assessment in online language teacher education.
