Identify the problem: Group Work Fair Assessment As lecturers we all know that fair evaluation within a group work is always a headache. The objective of this prototype is to introduce an exchange Peer to Peer evaluation blended method sustained by the lecturer’s expertise for a final technical assessment.

The aim of this prototype is a proposal to develop an online method via an application or website permitting students to vote for each other guided by a list of criteria based on their skills and competences, stimulating collaboration, exchange of skills, ideas and build up a sense of critical thinking.

The development of this system is not only meant for fair evaluation but also to motivate students and stimulate an intrinsic motivation with a critical thinking approach.

7. Designing App Prototype
HOW IT WORKS
Students will log into the App/Web and choose according to their skills; Designer – Programmer or Lecturer. Projects will be listed, clicking on
each project a drop down menu will
appear enabling the user to rate 4
different skills from 1 to 4, once
The grade is completed the user will
click the submit button and results will be
sent to the results page. Each project will
appear on the results page with the
appropriate score. When all the grades
are submitted the award page will show the
1st, 2nd and 3rd placed.

Discussing the design with users and analysing the
feedback is crucial. Through users' feedback a UX was
designed from the user's perspective rather than from
the designer's perspective, this enables the design to
adapt a navigational structure in a user friendly way for
the targeted audience. The planning of a product
supported by the users' feedback, the probability is that
is going to be successfully accepted by the targeted
audience.

The process of coming up with an
idea is never easy, but if you
reflect on the necessities that
users might have, you can come
up with very good ideas. In these
circumstances that’s how the process
of this idea Was developed,
Discussing common issues
with lectures and trying to find a
solution by exchanging ideas,
implementing and adapt accordingly.

Collaboration with users lead to develop an easy to use application. While finalizing the prototype there where more than a couple of times that it was necessary to go back to the drawing board and rearrange things.
One main thing that had to be modify because of security matters was the “LOGIN” system. User brought to attention that no login feature was taken into consideration in the design but only a menu with 3 selections
DESIGNERS, PROGRAMMERS and LECTURES.
Testing the prototype it was obvious that if no login system is developed all users can access each other’s area of rating and anyone could rate others criteria. Therefore a login section was developed giving each user a login access according to his group. Once again this proved that feedback from users is very important.

Final Reflection
Studying and researching collaboration for 15 years, provides you
with various and different experiences, make you understand that
you are constantly learning throughout your life, learning positive
things as well as negative things, depending upon who is your
mentor, with whom you are collaborating, the community, cultural
environment and at the end your decisions .

Final Reflection
Collaborating means exchange of knowledge and ideas which brings with it a new way of thinking, relate, and cooperate. When sharing knowledge with others especially from different countries new experiences are continuous flowing strengthening knowledge and communication. Communicating, networking and socializing are the keys for a successful transfer learning to our students because we outset our pedagogy not only from the technical perspective but also from the human emotional perspective which adds values to our students. Including essential communication skills during a lesson will not only enhance the students' technical skills but also the values of creativity, respect and accept others opinions.
