An analysis of team projects outcomes from student and instructor perspectives in online computing degrees
Bibliographic record
Abstract
One of the core aims of higher education degrees is to provide an environment for students to acquire essential skills that will helpthem in the workplace. Team working is one of those essential skill and it is also one that experience and research show is regularlyresisted by students. This resistance can become even more amplified when the degree is delivered online, although some havepointed out that a good team provides much-needed community spirit and support in such environments. The purpose of this studyis to review the delivery of a team assessment format that has been specifically designed for the online environment. The results presented provide insight into the student’s perspective on the delivery as well as the reflections of the instructors involved in thedelivery. The overall outcome is positive for both parties and provides further guidance on implementation to ensure the pedagogicaldesign continues to be viable. This includes insights into team composition, instructor involvement, and peer review scoring formats.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
