Abstract

This paper addresses technology supported formative assessment in university mathematics education. The challenges of formative assessment are the requirements for regular feedback and more student engagement in the learning process. This paper suggests integrating peer-to-peer assessment in mathematics education, using mobile tablet technology. The students are engaged in providing feedback to each other and the technology allows for fast and regular feedback provision. The paper presents the results of experiments with undergraduate engineering students, using iPad tablets and a learning management system. It is shown that mobile tablet technology can greatly contribute to the integration of peer-to-peer assessment into mathematics education; and providing peer-feedback is a practical approach to formative assessment.
