Retrieved 2013-05-15.〕 With his Ph.D. Student Dwayne Pare, he co-developed peerScholar, an internet-based tool to support the development of critical thought and clear communication in any course context. peerScholar won the 2009 National Technology Innovation Award, and is now a commercial product licensed to Pearson Education.〔Pearson, (peerScholar ) Retrieved 2013-05-15.〕 In 2006 CUPE 3902, the trade union representing TAs and sessional lecturers at the UofT, filed a grievance alleging that Joordens was used this programme to create a pool of "cheap labour" as a means of avoiding hiring teaching assistants to grade term work for his introductory Psychology class. In January 2009, an arbitrator upheld the grievance -- noting, incidentally, that Joordens was actually looking for "free" labour -- and ruled that the University of Toronto needed to set aside $283,000 to compensate the more than 1500 students who had been forced by Joordens to work for free.〔Sequeira , (''Peer graders get belated payday'' ) Retrieved 2015-02-18.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Steve Joordens」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
