Abstract

Teamwork and graded team assignments in MOOCs are still largely under-researched. Nevertheless, the topic is enormously important as the ability to work and solve problems in teams is becoming increasingly common in modern work environments. The paper at hand discusses the reliability of a system to detect free-riders in peer assessed team tasks.
