TEAMMATES

TEAMMATES is a web-based peer feedback management system for instructors seeking options beyond their main learning management system. Instructors and students are its intended users, and the project describes the system as highly configurable, including for pedagogical research into peer feedback methods. It is hosted on Google App Engine and is a joint effort supported by the National University of Singapore School of Computing. TEAMMATES has a free plan at no cost. The team says it will provide the service free for as long as it can, but may change or discontinue it at its discretion. Its terms say the team will try to protect user data while advising users not to store information they want to keep confidential. The service is provided “AS IS” without warranty, and users are responsible for risks arising from use. The maker’s features page describes a workflow, but its diagrams are images without accompanying text on the page. TEAMMATES is available through the web; no other platform is listed.

TEAMMATES provides a free, configurable web option for peer feedback beyond a main learning management system. Consider the service-continuity and data terms before relying on it.

It suits instructors who need a configurable peer feedback system beyond their main learning management system, as well as students participating in peer feedback. Its configurable approach may also suit pedagogical research.
