peerScholar
What it is
peerScholar is a formative peer-assessment platform designed to deepen learning while students practice and measure core skills. It offers Classic, Case Study, and Group Work activities. In a Classic activity, students submit work, assess peers, receive feedback, and may revise and resubmit. Group Work can include group assessments, individual assessments, and evaluations of group members. Assessment tools include multiple choice, points, dropdowns, star ratings, checkboxes, Likert scales, rubrics, and comments. Peer feedback can use scales, matrix rubrics, points, dropdowns, comments, and annotations. Grades may combine instructor or teaching-team evaluations, peer ratings, and participation. The platform connects with learning management systems and virtual learning environments through LTI 1.3 and APIs, supporting single sign-on, roster, group, and grade syncing. peerScholar is a Cogneeto Inc. product. Pricing is on request; the listed WCET Promotional plan is $4,500 a year.
