PeerEval

What PeerEval is

PeerEval is a peer assessment tool for classroom evaluations. Instructors work through a browser interface to enroll students, create evaluation rubrics and download results for analysis. Rubrics support scoring, and moderation tools are available. Students can add written comments to evaluations and edit submitted evaluations while the class session is still in progress. To join an evaluation, students use a session name provided by their instructor. PeerEval supports learning management system integration and gradebook synchronization. The service runs on the web, and an iPhone app is also listed; that app is marked free on the Canadian App Store. The software is described as paid, with pricing on request. Thomas N Robb is identified as the developer and seller of the iPhone app. PeerEval brings instructor setup and result downloads into a browser workflow, while students use the session name to access and complete their evaluations. Its combination of rubric scoring, moderation, written feedback and gradebook synchronization is aimed at courses that use peer assessment as part of class activities.
