Abstract:
This paper describes the utility of a framework of corporative IT (Information Technology) Governance and how a specific, simpler, progressive and scalable model can be a reference and used in the Ecuadorian public universities. The purpose is ensuring the correct use of the IT, generating business value. The main objective is converting the IT in an corporate strategic element, so that it can serve as a support for the corporate managers, allowing them execute actions and optimal decisions, targeted to the effective use of the IT. The IT department objectives must be aligned with the institutional objectives of universities. Some important contributions in this context as well as in the IT Governance in other countries have been detected, so that they will be served as a starting point for the development of a specific framework of IT Governance for the university reality of Ecuador. Initial data are collected trough some instruments, allowing the observation of the achievement of the IT Governance process, using a generic framework as reference and applying the model to a public university of Ecuador. The results will justify and validate the contribution of this research. It is finally concluded that, the ITs not only serve to automate the processes in the organizations, but they must also get involved in the core business and strategy. The adaptation of this model to the public universities of Ecuador will generate a change and will improve decision making in the executive level. This specific framework of IT Governance for universities will be a benchmark of first line for higher education institutions worldwide. The truly integration of ITs in the universities trough a framework of corporate governance will be the strategic road to “Digital University” in the future. Otherwise, the universities that do not integrate the ITs in their core will be sentenced to live in the past and to die in a short time.

Abstract:
Peer review is an evaluation strategy increasingly used in educational environments. It has now a central role in the field of teaching, but there is an extensive experience in the field of research. This evaluation method implies an author reviewing, usually anonymously, the work of his or her colleagues who, in turn, can become reviewers of the author’s work. This peer evaluation system enriches the evaluation itself, and it can even become one of the few ways to assess the works in absence of a hierarchical authority on the subject. In massive access learning platforms it has even become the main assessment method. All in all, it is necessary to assure the quality of the assessment process. In this research we consider the process of peer review as a classification process, in which we have several classifiers (reviewers) that, before an input (work to revise) should assign a particular class (work grading). In this analysis two performance measures are proposed to assess the degree of goodness of the reviewers, in order to help improve the quality of peer review processes providing a more objective assessment of the reviewers task.
