A case study was conducted in December 2014 to evaluate the outcomes of a student revision project. Peer assessments found that 97.5% of students believed the math websites reviewed had good or better content and were useful for revision. Self-assessments showed that 69.5% of students developed revision skills and 86.9% enjoyed the project, with 56.5% completing more revision. 87% would use the revision pages next year if encouraged by teachers. To fully meet objectives, the project needs ongoing support from teachers and periodic review, and should be implemented across the entire math faculty.

Peer Assessment outcomes
The peer assessment feedback received, from the Google forms questionnaire,
was that 97.5% of students thought that the website that they reviewed had
good or better Mathematical content. Please see figure 2.
Figure 2
The students also found that the webpages that they reviewed were useful for
use for revision. Please see figure 3.
5 – Outstanding
3 - Good
1 - Poor

Self-Assessment outcomes
The self-assessment outcomes at the end of the project, showed that 69.5% of
the students had learned or developed some revision skills. Please see figure 4.

The self-assessment also showed that 86.9% of students enjoyed completing the
revision project. Please see figure 5.

The self-assessment also indicates that 56.5% of students completed more
revision, while completing the activity. While only 4.4% of students said they had
completed less revision. Please see figure 6.
Figure 6
87% of the students who completed the activity stated that they would use the
revision page during the next year of their education, if encouraged to do so by
their teacher. Please see figure 7.

In conclusion to the progress made towards the project objective: The use of
student generated webpages to improve revision and ongoing mathematical
development. The objective of the project was to be met by improving revision
techniques, by integrating the use of technology to encourage lifelong learning.
Revision techniques were indicated to be improved in 69.5% of students, while
87% of students indicated they would continue to use the resource if encouraged.
The objectives of the project could be partially met, as revision techniques were
improved, but to ensure that the project fully meets the original objectives the
project needs to be supported by the teachers of the group who undertook the
project and reviewed periodically.
For the project to be considered a success, the project needs to be run across
the mathematics faculty, rather than just with the pilot group. This will ensure
the students involved in the pilot group will continue to be encouraged to use their
revision page, regardless of which teacher they have in future years.
