“…Recently, based on the features of networked technology (e.g., less time-bound, more place and deviceindependence, large storage space, high processing speeds, multi-media capability, anonymity, and so on), a dozen or so online learning systems that focus on student question-generation have been developed -such as QPPA by Chan (2002, 2005), POP-B and POP-C by Akira, Tsukasa, and Akira (2004), QAIS by Barak and Rafaeli (2004), MCIDA by Fellenz (2004), Concerto II by Hirai and Hazeyama (2007), ExamNet by Wilson (2004), PeerWise by Denny, Hamer, Luxton-Reilly, and Purchase (2008), QuARKS by Yu (2009), CodeWrite by Denny, Luxton-Reilly, Tempero, and Hendrickx (2011), QPIS by Lan and Lin (2011) and StudySieve by Luxton-Reilly (2012). While most existing systems allow students to generate questions of different types and media formats, and include an element of peerassessment, the need to incorporate online scaffolding to support student question-generation activities has rarely been acknowledged.…”
