Peer Assignment Review Process for Collaborative

In recent years collaborative e-learning has been emphasized as a learning method that has facilitated knowledge construction and supported student learning. However some universities especially in developing country contexts are struggling to attain minimal educational benefits from its adoption and use.

This is attributed to lack of review skills, absence of lecturer scaffolding, low ICT literacy levels and change
