iPeer
iPeer is a peer review application that enables students to evaluate and provide anonymous feedback on their group member’s work and contributions using set criteria. It is commonly used to facilitate the assessment of students’ involvement and/or participation in group activities or projects.
Key Features
- Create specific criteria: create criteria to guide students’ evaluation of one another
- Feedback options: share ratings and comments either with the evaluated students or keep them private between the instructor and evaluator
- Various evaluation formats: three types of formats available: simple, mixed, and rubrics-
- Download and review evaluation results: download evaluation results for review, analysis, or grading
- Canvas integration: import Canvas groups to iPeer and sync iPeer grades to Canvas
