Creating Awareness and Reflection in a Large-Scale IS Lecture – The Application of a Peer Assessment in a Flipped Classroom Scenario

Abstract. Large-scale lectures are a typical way of teaching university students. However, these lectures often lack interaction elements and do not foster awareness and reflection in the learning process. This results in insufficient learning outcomes such as learning satisfaction and success. Therefore, a new approach to engage interaction in such large-scale lectures is the flipped class-room concept which seeks to overcome these challenges by stimulating self-regulated learning phases and improving interaction as well as awareness and reflection in the presence phases of a lecture. However, it is still unclear how to actually increase reflection and awareness through interaction in such learning scenarios. For this purpose, we propose an application of a technology-enhanced peer assessment that is carried out in large-scale information systems lectures. Preliminary evaluation results suggest the potentials of this approach. Thus, we are able to provide first theoretical and practical implications for the application of a technology-enhanced peer assessment in large-scale lectures
