Thread:Goals? (1)

It would help my understanding of the possible technical solutions to understand the pedagogical goals of "peer evaluation" in the OERu.
 * 1) Are educators interested in the scores given to other students? The comments?
 * 2) Is the goal to drive engagement, by almost forcing students to read and respond to other students?
 * 3) And if so, do they expect the student to revise a particular submission prior to the end of the course?
 * 4) How should evaluations done by people outside the student cohort be weighted?
 * 5) If this is part of the Academic Volunteers International initiative, how is the "community" valued?
 * 6) If a former student of a particular course reviews current work, how is their opinion valued? (And does karma carry over?)
 * 7) Is participating as an evaluator ever a requirement for completing the course? (certificate of completion? being granted credit by a partner institution?)
 * 8) Is it useful to be able to report instances of suspected plagiarism?
