iPeer Building Block ? Integrating iPeer with Connect

Back in January, a new version of iPeer was released, and alongside it, an iPeer building block was developed to integrate iPeer with the Connect learning management system (Blackboard Learn). iPeer is an open source web application that allows instructors to develop and deliver rubric-based peer evaluations, review and release student comments, build progress report forms online, and analyze evaluation results. The iPeer building block allows users to create iPeer courses within Connect. Users can synchronize class lists, and push and pull groups to and from iPeer and Connect. It also allows the instructor to add an iPeer grade into the Connect Grade Center.

iPeer was originally developed in the UBC Faculty of Applied Science, and is currently being developed, hosted, and maintained by the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT). Each term, approximately 70-80 UBC instructors use iPeer in their course. It is used by the Faculty of Applied Science, Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Education, Sauder School of Business, and UBC Okanagan. Since it is an open source application, others outside of UBC have been using it as well.

For more information about iPeer, email ipeer.support@ubc.ca or visit the Student Peer Review section of the e-learning website. You can learn more about the iPeer building block by visiting the documentation page, which was released in February.
