SparkPlus is GREAT for large classes. You pay $1 - $2 per student (depending on how many students at your institution are using it) and you can use it as many times as you wish in the semester. It was designed for Peer Assessment (both quant and qualitative) - and the results are sent to each class member (an average score and all comments) and everything to the team member is anonymous. It is a great tool. They have videos to help you get started.

Subject: Peer Assessment Software


Colleagues,

I am using Team-Based Learning in my Principles of Biology course, which is an introductory biology course for science majors. The enrollment ranges from 240 (fall) to 150 (spring). I want to implement Peer Assessment, but need an online tool to accomplish this. Does anyone have a suggestion of a software program that they have successfully used for Peer Assessment in high enrollment courses?

Best regards, Sandra
