ComPAIR

ComPAIR is an online peer review application created at UBC that allows students to complete an assignment, then compare their peer’s assignments side-by-side. Evaluations are guided by criteria set by the instructor. This experience encourages students to learn by comparing and identifying weaknesses and strengths in their own work.  

Key Features

  • Compare assignments: students can compare their peers’ work to their own work, which helps to create a greater learning experience by identifying weaknesses and strengths
  • Provide feedback: students can provide constructive criticism and feedback to their peers 
  • Automatic peer assignment distribution: assignments automatically and anonymously distributed to peers 
  • Canvas integration: ComPAIR is integrated with Canvas, allowing for easy access  

Getting Started

To use ComPAIR, you will need to first set-up a ComPAIR course through Canvas.
