Zusammenfassung:One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates a peer review process for a computer-based activity, such as a computer-based quiz. Upon receiving a computer-based activity to be evaluated, the system makes the computer-based activity available on a computer system coupled to a network, so that the computer-based activity can be accessed by a plurality of evaluators operating from remote computer systems across the network. Upon receiving evaluations from the plurality of evaluators, the system tabulates the evaluations to produce an evaluation result. In one embodiment of the present invention, the computer-based activity includes one of: a computer-based quiz; a computer-based examination; and a computer-based game. In one embodiment of the present invention, if the evaluation result exceeds a threshold, the computer-based activity is placed in a public directory on the computer system, so that the computer-based activity becomes available to activity users from remote computer systems across the network.
