| What is peerScholar? | |
| peerScholar is an innovative on-line pedagogical tool that supports students’ collaboration, learning and reflection. Supported by research, peerScholar allows teachers to offer their students subject-based and cross-curricular assignments that really bring learning a step further. | |
| Within peerScholar, a teacher can use existing or create new assignments with matching rubrics and learning criteria. Sharing assignments, addressing specific learner needs and tracking student achievement are really easy within this tool. | |
| peerScholar facilitates learning through 3 phases; create, assess and reflect/revise. Students first submit their assignment, then they give feedback to their peers work, and finally they reflect on and learn from the peer feedback that they receive. | |
| peerScholar is a multimedia-based tool that supports all available digital devices, with the flexibility to enrich learning and be used in any discipline or school level. | |
| Why peerScholar? | |
| peerScholar is an easy way for teachers to help students succeed while also saving time. Students receive more than just a mark within peerScholar. Rather they engage in a process of active collaboration and metacognition that supports deep learning and digital citizenship. How does peerScholar work? | |
| peerScholar combines student-centred learning and peer- and self-assessment, which support character education, the development of creative and critical thinking skills, collaboration and effective communication. | |
| Giving and receiving constructive peer feedback provides students with the opportunity to engage in critical thought, reflection and evaluation. This process fosters the development of 21st Century skills, including self-direction and responsibility toward learning. | |
| Teachers can easily follow and track students’ learning progress in peerScholar. They can also share assignments with other teachers in their school and between schools all over the world. | |
| peerScholar not only supports efficient and effective education, it also collects learning outcome reports into a digital portfolio that teachers can use to assess learning and students can use to showcase their success. | |
