This paper surveys our efforts in the automated analysis of human created digital artifacts and human computer interactions to enable peer-to-peer (P2P) knowledge management (KM). We begin outlining the relationships among knowledge management, peer-to-peer computing, collaboration, and human language technology. We first discuss tools to support peer and group knowledge discovery, exemplifying...

The present study examined the impact of peer-like and expert-like agent stereotypes, as operationalized by agent’s image and voice, on learners’ agent perceptions, task-related attitudes, and learning achievement. 56 university freshmen (23 males and 33 females) interacted with either the peer-like agent (female college student) or the expert-like agent (female college lecturer) in computer-ba...

The article analyses several key issues which restrict the effectiveness of fund project peer review work. It analyses the evaluating theory and matter-element theory to access the expert anti-evaluation model, and also studies the expert anti-evaluation index system to support the anti-evaluation method. The practical basis is the true score data of the experts which is collected from the actu...

BACKGROUND Advanced resuscitation skills training is an important and enjoyable part of medical training, but requires small group instruction to ensure active participation of all students. Increases in student numbers have made this increasingly difficult to achieve. METHODS A single-blind randomised controlled trial of peer-led vs. expert-led resuscitation training was performed using a gr...

Although peer assessment is a widely used didactical method in higher education, little is known about a) how many peer assessors are required to receive a stable assessment on a peer’s solution and b) how valid this assessment is compared to an expert assessment. To fill these gaps, we conducted a peer assessment in a large-scale lecture. Overall, 136 students participated in the peer assessme...

Nonexpert peer-based knowledge refinement, it turns out, is just as helpful as expert-centric knowledge refinement for improving the quality of results. 83 Knowledge management (KM) repository-based systems (such as those involving " best practices " and " lessons learned " applications) are generally costly to operate since they require expert judgment to determine which knowledge submissions ...

OBJECTIVES To assess the performance of the hospital complaints procedure for complaints proceeding to peer review and the quality of responses to complainants. DESIGN Retrospective study of data on clinical complaints proceeding to peer review during 1986-91 from clinical records, correspondence, reports of the complaints investigations, and expert review of written responses to complainants...
