With the rapid development of online education platforms represented by Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC), how to evaluate the large-scale subjective question assignments submitted by platform learners is a big challenge. Peer grading is the mainstream scheme for the challenge, which has been widely concerned by both academia and industry in recent years. Therefore, peer grading technologies for online education were survyed and analyzed. Firstly, the general process of peer grading was summarized. Secondly, the main research results of important peer grading activities, such as grader allocation, comment analysis, abnormal peer grading information detection and processing, true grade estimation of subjective question assignments, were explained. Thirdly, the peer grading functions of representative online education platforms and published teaching systems were compared. Finally, the future development trends of peer grading was summed up and prospected, thereby providing reference for people who are engaged in or intend to engage in peer grading research.
