Because you (and I) are in British Columbia....which has stricter protection of information laws than the rest of Canada....you have fewer options

iPeer is an option....it even integrates with Blackboard.......Vancouver Island University buys iPeer services from my institution (UBC)...so they don't need to run their own servers

Typically the tools outside of Canada aren't legally accessible to us....CATME, Team Mates, Spark Plus. Google forms...etc....BC laws says student information needs to stay inside Canada

BUT...I did have faculty member go to campus legal counsel and got permission to use CATME

Links to the various options can be found on this page on my website (bottom of page)

Hi Jen,

 

At Iowa State University, we have developed a peer assessment tool using the ThinkSpace platform (www.ThinkSpace.org). This tool is flexible with a template for the traditional TBL peer assessment approach using a set number of points to be distributed among team members, but also allows you to use other approaches, such as scores based on categories of behaviors. What I like about the tool is that once students have entered the scores, it creates a report for each person with her/his scores and the(anonymous)  comments from the other members of the team. I have the option to review the comments if I want, but then I hit send and the reports are send via email to each individual. It saves a tremendous amount of time – which is why we developed the tool.

 

Best,

Jane

Hi everyone,

 

I’m a new TBL adopter. So far things feel like they’re going well, but I’m hoping for guidance on a couple matters.

 

1.       PEER FEEDBACK: How can I collect & distribute peer feedback effectively & efficiently? Our LMS is Blackboard, and we don’t seem to have a function that allows students to anonymously give each other feedback on their ‘helping behavior’ (or does it?). Students who hand write feedback could be identified by their teammates. I could collect it via. email, but that seems labour intensive for me. I’ve promised anonymity this time, but might revisit later. Any ideas or insights?  

 

2.       AN INEFFECTIVE GROUP: I understand peer feedback might help matters. Baring a shift, one of my groups is not working. One member is super strong. Two are ok. Three are weaker. The strong member does all talking, writing, representing for his group. He tries to ask other members’ opinions, but mostly they choose to add nothing, and he moves things forward. Any suggestions to change this dynamic without becoming overbearing?

 

Thanks for considering responding to these questions. Looking forward to lots more engagement on the listserv.

 

Best,

 

Jen
