In an interview with Russel Stannard talked about the 'connected classroom' in which the activities in the classroom are linked to homework activities especially in the area of learner autonomy.Russel mentioned the use of the web site 'Vocaroo' for recording speaking activities and also the setting up of an e-Portfolio containing 3 to 4 of the student's Vocaroo recordings which could be used for assessment either via peer assessment or by the teacher,the student choosing one of their recordings to be assessed.Russel said it was important to prepare the students in the classroom for the 'Vocaroo' speaking task help the student do the homework task more successfully.
I've recently got my IELTS students to do a couple of Vocaroo recordings and quite a few of them have enjoyed doing the activity.

well I think peer assessement is a good idea but unfortunately it didn't work out with me ,personally i noticed that friendship may influence the assessement and some of them feel reluctant to make judgements regarding their peers
