PEAR - Peer Evaluation, Assessment and Review. PEAR (Peer Evaluation, Assessment and Review) is an online peer review application, developed by Teaching Support Services (TSS) at the University of Guelph, which helps instructors facilitate the peer review process.
In an academic setting, the peer review process is employed to maintain standards, improve performance and provide credibility. It emphasizes writing as a process of editing and revisions, while the presence of an audience motivates authors to produce a higher calibre of work. Through this process, authors learn to be analytical and critical as they get the opportunity to see the calibre of writing from others at their academic level. This comparative process influences authors to re-evaluate and improve their own work. Why Use PEAR The benefits of the peer review process are often overlooked due to the time, organization, resources and staff needed to make the process a smooth and successful one.
Aropä. Aropä is a web-based system which supports peer review activities.
In a peer-review activity, an instructor sets students an assignment. After students have submitted their assignment, they comment on the submissions from other students. Once the review process is complete, students read the comments their peers have made on their own submission. Aropä is used extensively at the University of Auckland and Glasgow University. It is also used world-wide, with regular use at the following institutions: Franklin University Cyberjaya University College of Medical Sciences Sheffield University Curtin University Robert Gordon University Glasgow Caledonian University Washington & Lee University Virginia Tech In the 2014/5 academic year, just over 5% of the entire student body of the University of Glasgow used the system to review their peers' work.
Aropä has been used in classes in the following subject areas: Calibrated Peer Review: Home.
