Workshop on Computer-Supported Peer Review in Education: Synergies
with Intelligent Tutoring Systems

http://cspred.org

We invite submissions to Computer-Supported Peer Review in Education
(CSPRED), a workshop to be held in conjunction with the Tenth
International Conference on Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS 2010).
The workshop will take place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, on
either June 14th or June 18th, 2010. Accepted submissions will be
published in the ITS 2010 Workshop Proceedings.

We will put together a special issue of a journal on the basis of key
submissions to the workshop. For submissions with a focus on peer
review in the context of writing, there will be a special issue in
partnership with the Journal of Writing Research.

1. Introducing the Workshop

Computer-supported peer review has recently attracted the attention of
researchers as a technology and instructional activity that seems to
bring many benefits to both students and educators, and in a wide
variety of settings. Among many other uses, peer review may be used to
enhance learning outcomes, to provide assessment in ill-structured
domains, to enhance the feedback received by the students, to enable
student content authoring, to study cognitive phenomena and to offer
innovative educational opportunities.

The workshop seeks to provide a forum for researchers and
practitioners involved in computer-supported peer review in education.
It will address issues of peer review research, theory, practice, and
technology.

Topics of interest to the workshop include, but are not limited to:

* Intelligent and adaptive support for students giving and receiving
reviews, and for instructors of courses that involve peer review
* Assessment and student modeling of peer reviewers and authors, with
or without a domain model
* Data mining of peer review artifacts, including numeric ratings,
free-form comments, and system logs
* Scaling and porting: peer review with lots of learners, in
cross-age, cross-cultural, or international settings, in distance
learning, in informal learning, over long durations
* User interfaces: eliciting quality student input, re-representing
student input (e.g., organizing and summarizing reviews for authors),
providing feedback, etc.
* Causal and correlational relationships of peer review phenomena with
outcomes of interest, including learning of subject matter and of
skills, metacognition, affect, motivation, professionalization, etc.
* Democratizing and decentralizing instruction through peer review technologies
* Improving instructor awareness of student needs during peer review exercises
* Increasing acceptance of peer review technology with students,
educators and administrators
* Theoretical and empirical analysis of peer review processes
* Best practices, pre-requisites and desiderata for peer review
exercises, technology, and research methods
* Domain-specific issues in peer review, including peer review across
the curriculum, for well-defined and ill-defined domains and problems

Further announcements will be posted at <http://cspred.org>. Please
address all inquiries to Ilya Goldin <goldin@xxxxxxxx>.
