iPeer – a new way to facilitate student peer evaluation at HKUST

Facilitator: Rambo Lai and May Tse, CELT

Format: Workshop

In this workshop, CELT has introduced a new web-based tool, iPeer, to facilitate student peer and self evaluation on group projects.

iPeer was adapted from an open source and HKUST customized it to suit our own needs. It supports four types of evaluations, namely Point Distribution, Rating Scale, Rubric and Commendation. The system aims to provide a platform for teaching staff to conduct student peer evaluation on group projects in a more efficient and effective way.

In this session, participants learnt about:

• the reasons for student peer evaluation;
• the key features in iPeer;
• the workflow and system steps for conducting student peer evaluation in iPeer.
