Peerceptiv is a peer collaboration tool designed to enhance student engagement by facilitating peer review and team member evaluation assignments and is now available for all UC Berkeley classes as part of a pilot. Through Peerceptiv, students give and receive actionable feedback on assignments, which supports learning for both the giver and receiver of feedback. This peer assessment technology improves writing and critical thinking skills by engaging students in the role of the teacher. In this live session, you will:

  • Explore various ways Peerceptiv peer assessment is used to increase student engagement and reduce grading time.

  • Learn how it integrates with bCourses. 

  • Understand how to set up an assignment in bCourses and in Peerceptiv, enabling you to add peer review to an existing or new assignment in your course. 

Please note Berkeley is currently piloting this tool.

This session will run for 30 minutes, with an additional 15 minutes reserved for questions.
