Abstract

This paper describes a system that aims to provide course instructors with the capability to create and conduct formative and summative peer code review exercises for their students. It also aims to improve student engagement with the review process and motivation to achieve better learning. It enables students to rate the reviews they receive, thus providing feedback to the reviewer. The system awards badges to students for completing reviews and high-quality reviews. The preliminary user evaluation of the prototype was very positive.
