Digitizing Peer Assessments in the U.S. Army Officer Candidate School
Abstract
The purpose of this research was to develop a sustainable, versatile, and useful digital peer assessment for the U.S. Army Officer Candidate School that is compatible with the Army network and meets identified instructional and programmatic needs. The digital assessment is comprised of two dynamic Microsoft Excel based tools a data collection tool and a compiler tool that expedite the data collection process and automate the synthesis of peer data. The tools were developed through an iterative process of testing, gathering end user input and feedback, and making necessary modifications. Qualitative and quantitative utility and usability feedback data were collected from end users to evaluate the tools and processes for conducting the digital peer assessment. This report describes the development, testing, and evaluation of the digital peer assessment tools. Although developed for OCS, the tools and processes can be adapted for other instructional contexts and can be used to enable formative and summative assessments.
