A new approach to online peer learning

---

A learning tool that enhances any assignment in any discipline by adding a peer review component that promises fair evaluation

• Students learn from classmates' views, insights, and professional experiences.
• Peer Exchange creates an academic ripple-effect: instructors choose their key learning goals and how best to evaluate them. Students use those criteria to evaluate and coach classmates.
• It builds skills: Students practice and improve providing constructive feedback - an important skill for academic and career success. 

Below we refer to instructors & students; the same process applies to managers and employees.

Instructors customize Peer Exchange for their learning goals. They

• Follow easy online instructions to set up their assignment
• Can sit back and relax! Our algorithm takes over, assigning work to classmates. The instructor's settings determine timing and all communication to students.  
• Receive metrics to evaluate students' participation and performance

The student experience:  

• Students submit an assignment in any format; e.g., text, spreadsheets, presentations, videos
• Classmates review the assignment(s) and offer suggestions and feedback 
• Students evaluate the quality of their classmates' feedback 

• We overcome traditional skepticism towards peer review as  explained in our Trust in Peer Review section.
• We emphasize critical thinking and teach students how to give more effective feedback 
• We can accommodate thousands of users simultaneously, ensuring personalized feedback at scale
• Our approach values every voice and opinion - all views are respected.
