我能用它做什么?

您可以使用iPeer以多种方式帮助您评估和改进学生小组工作:

  • 创建自定义标准,指导学生评估彼此,也可以选择评估自己
  • Use the evaluation outcomes formatively, by sharing the anonymized feedback with each evaluated student
  • Use the evaluation outcomes summatively, to inform your distribution of group marks

What do I need to use iPeer?

An iPeer account

You will need to向我们申请iPeer帐户第一。

A supported web browser

iPeer在您的Web浏览器中运行,并使用Chrome,Edge,Firefox或Safari支持。

画布课程

iPeer only works with Canvas courses at UBC.

提示

  • 学生不需要联系任何人创建IPEER帐户,因为当您将画布课程链接到iPeer课程时,他们的帐户将自动生成。

在使用ipeer之前,我应该考虑什么?

在你深入研究之前,最好从教学的角度建立你的评估方法。这包括确定你将如何使用同行评估,多久进行一次评估,以及评估与成绩的关系。对这些问题的回答将引导你在正确的方向上建立iper。

考虑同行评估的总体目标

Once you decide to use peer evaluation in a group assignment, consider the following:

  • 您希望通过同行评估实现什么?自我评价?
  • 根据你的目标,什么样的评估标准(如评估准则)最适合学生评估每个小组成员的贡献?
  • When will you ask students to complete peer evaluations: in the middle, at the end of the group assignment, or both?
  • Should the peer evaluation scores count towards the group assignment grade? If so, to what extent?
  • 你应该和学生分享同侪评鉴的结果吗?如果是的话,在多大程度上:分享成绩,分享反馈,还是两者兼而有之?

你的答案应该与小组作业的目标相关。例如,如果培养团队合作技能是一个重要目标,那么你可以计划在作业期间多次使用同侪评估,这样学生就可以了解自己的表现,并有机会提高。

提示

Develop your peer evaluation criteria

iPeer offers three types of peer evaluations to consider as you develop your criteria:

  • 简单的评价: Students evaluate group members by distributing the number of points you set (e.g., 100) among the members. This approach offers a very simple evaluation that will provide you with a high-level idea of the group dynamics.
  • Rubrics Evaluations: Students evaluate group members based on specific criteria you set, similar to a multiple-choice questionnaire. This approach will provide more specific and detailed information about each group member, depending on the questions you ask.
  • 混合评价:学生使用简短答案和评估题相结合的方式评估小组成员。这种方法提供了最高程度的定制,因此适用于需要更多细微差别和开放响应的评估。

提示

  • Always encourage students to justify their evaluations and provide constructive feedbackas part of the process, regardless of which approach you choose.
  • You can involve students in criteria creation, so they have a better understanding of what is expectedas a contributing group member. For example, at the beginning of a group project, share a rubric you are considering with students and invite their constructive feedback.

决定同行评估的时间

如果您计划在课程中使用评估,将与您和学生共享意义结果,最好在集团分配期间拥有多个同行评估,或许在中途点和最后。这将让学生知道他们是如何做的,并为他们提供基于收到的对等反馈来改进的机会。

但是,考虑对共享负面反馈的群体动态的可能影响也很重要,并准备支持以积极的方式枢转的学生。

如果您计划在课程中总结使用评估,则在组分配结束时评估的时间,一旦所有主要活动都完成。这将让学生评估同龄人的整体参与和贡献,并帮助您在评级中应用结果,如果您选择。

提示

  • In iPeer, you can release the peer grades, the peer feedback, or bothso that students can check how their group members evaluated their contributions.
  • If you decide to release the feedback, you can review what students submitted first, and hold back any disrespectful comments, if you choose.

选择结果如何影响成绩

如果评估会影响成绩,你应该在一开始就与学生沟通如何准确计算同龄人的分数,这样学生就不会措手不及。

If you decide to count the peer evaluations for grading, ask yourself the following:

  • How will you examine peer evaluations to ensure fairness and accuracy? When marks are on the line, students may sometimes try to influence them with exaggerated reviews (good and bad).
  • Will you assign marks for completing the peer evaluations? This strategy can help increase response rates.
  • Would you prefer to use the peer evaluations as a reference for the final mark or use it to impact the mark directly? If using it directly, what grading calculation will best fit for your course? Typically, peer evaluations count for a small percentage (e.g. 5-25%) of a group assignment1, with you assigning the rest of the mark.
  • 学生的自我评价会计入成绩吗?一般来说,自我评估并不是最准确的,最好不要计算。

How do I use iPeer?

To use iPeer, you will first set up an iPeer course and student groups, then create your evaluation, and view and (optionally) share the results.

单击下面的任何一个栏以获取使用iPeer的说明和提示。
