Summary

This session is co-sponsored by the Learning Technology Team, the Teaching-Learning-Collaboration Group, the InteGraTe Group, and the University of Toronto Mississauga Library.

Interested in trying new approaches to peer learning? Come out and learn how you can leverage peerScholar, a freely available internet-based tool, to support the development of the cognitive processes involved in student writing, evaluating and reflecting. The peerScholar system was developed here at U. of T. with its development informed by over 5 years of research into issues such as fairness, reliability, optimal grading configurations, and student satisfaction. As its creators like to say, peerScholar, it makes you think!
