Authentic Assesment Between Peers in Online Courses with a Large Number of Students

Learning evaluation in larger online university courses has become a challenge, especially in those cases when learning focuses on the development of professional skills. The objective of this article is to analyze how "authentic Assessment" applied by students correlate with the judgment of the teaching team, in the framework of a course for business and administration students. The results show that the correlation between pairs and the teaching team increases as the experience is repeated during the course, achieving an average positive correlation at the end of a semester. This opens the possibility of using evaluations with greater professional relevance in online courses, complementing traditional online initiatives.
