The incidence of cheating in Information Systems courses has been increasing since the mid-1990s. University entry standards, the nature of the student population, student experiences, student concerns, financial influences, class size, practical skill attainment and employer expectations influence the tertiary education environment in Information Systems in New Zealand. This paper documents our attempts over the period 1996-2001 to counter cheating. This began with a paper based model, moved to computer based assessment, and resulted in the development of the Student Online Assessment Program (SOAP) as an integrated approach which has allowed us to extend the types of computer based assessment we can carry out. The advances we have made and the limitations we have encountered are explored.

Online assessment has been increasingly popular in the tertiary education setting nowadays and has had significant changes to the process of assessment. Several studies have been conducted on online assessment, particularly on online peer assessment and found that it benefits students in teaching, learning and assessment. This paper will discuss the result of a study conducted in a Chemical Engineering class which uses online peer assessment as one of the tools to conduct assessment. The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of online peer assessment to students’ learning from the students’ perspective. The perspective of the students was under study because they are the ones who are going through the process, thus, the effectiveness of the assessment to their learning can only be known if the information is obtained from them. The students were divided in small groups and asked to conduct online peer assessment using any free online survey tools. Each group had to conduct 2 or 3 cycles of peer assessment to ensure validity of the rating. The peer rating was used to produce individual marks for group work. At the end of the semester, the students were asked to write a reflection on the effectiveness of online peer assessment in their learning process of the course. The result of this study found that students have positive perspectives on the effectiveness of this assessment. This will be further discussed in the paper. In addition, pedagogical implications will also be discussed on the use of such online peer assessment in student’s learning task.

Today it is often seen on television shows that moral damage to national graduatesis very worrying, acts of corruption (bribery cases), juvenile delinquency, brawls betweenstudents with physical violence, brutal suicide bombings, and anarchists. In responding to thereality of the moral crisis, the alarming character crisis faced by the Indonesian Nation, the2013 Curriculum has emphasized and directed the nature of education to improve attitudes,which is the essence of education in the real context, as also believed by Ki Hadjar Dewantara,MODEL PEMBELAJARAN KOOPERATIF ING NGARSA SUNG TULADHAKartini Hutagaol1, Louise M. Saija2, Debora C. Simanjuntak390regarding the effort in debriefing the national spirit , the spirit of brotherhood, protecting thosewho apply values that exemplify manners, to form moral people, who have a mind set (tocommit) that is in harmony with social values. The author team conducted a cooperativelearning model design that inspired the idea of Ki Hadjar Dewantara, as revealed by Soedjadi"is it not possible to develop learning models or methods that rely on our own philosophy?Furthermore, Soedjadi said, "once again, it is not impossible that new developments aboutlearning models in Indonesia, that model will affect learning in Indonesia." To addressSoedjadi's expression, the writer's team was challenged to design Ing Ngarsa Sung Tuladha'scooperative learning model, in response to Soedjadi's statement (1999, p. 104) "The authorfeels confident that it is possible to construct a learning model that breathes the idea of KiHadjar Dewantara. This early stage research is conducting an empirical study of learningmodels designed to direct, instill attitudes and character in which the teacher / lecturer isplaced or positioned as a leader, who will provide examples or good examples continuously,giving noble examples to those he leads . All of that aims to ignite the souls of the graduates tobecome leaders who have a nationality, unity, brotherhood, without discriminating ethnicity,customs, and religion, so as to avoid violence and anarchism. Empirical study research in theprocess of running, carried out in higher education, high school, junior high school,elementary school in the West Java region. The target population of tertiary education isstudents of the Faculty of Economics in West Java who study Mathematics Economics, andstudents of elementary, middle and high school in West Java. In this empirical research thefirst phase involved 3 students of English B. Study Program and 3 students of MathematicsStudy Program. Provisional assumptions that attitudes, learning outcomes, teamwork,leadership ability, ability to ask questions and provide answers to questions from students arebetter than those who do not use Ing Ngarsa Sung Tuladha's Cooperative Learning Model.
