Understanding student’s reviewing and reflection behaviors using web-based programming grading assistant

Paper-based assessment is still one of the most preferred methods in assessing students in a blended learning environment. However, it has several drawbacks such as having a high turnaround time before feedback is provided to the students. Furthermore, understanding how students attend to their graded papers is difficult to investigate because of the absence of empirical evidence. We describe in this paper a web-based system we developed that addresses some key issues when trying to understand the reviewing and reflection behaviors of the students. This system also aims to help instructors to efficiently and effectively grade paper-based assessments.
