Peer assessment means students giving feedback on each other’s work. Dozens of online systems have been developed for peer assessment. They all face many of the same issues. The PeerLogic project is an effort to develop specialized features for peer-assessment systems so that they can be used by multiple systems without the need for re-implementation. In addition, the project maintains a “data warehouse,” which includes anonymized peer reviews from different peer-assessment systems, which are freely made available to researchers.
