Peerceptive Knowledge Base-- for students
Peerceptiv is a peer learning and collaboration tool integrated into Bruin Learn that includes Peer Review assessment, as well as Team Member Evaluation assignments, in which students evaluate themselves and their peers on their group participation, leadership, and collaboration skills. (Overview video)
Students can submit any type of document for review-- as creative as you need them to be (videos, documents, slide decks, etc)
Peerceptiv automatically distributes the student’s submissions and manages the review process for you
Students use a rubric to review their peer’s work-- both pre-build and custom rubrics available
Student then are able to see their reviewer’s comments, rate them for their helpfulness, and reply back
Also works for group assignments- students can review and leave feedback for their group members
