AI Peer Review Helper for College
In large undergraduate courses, the instructor cannot read every draft personally (peer review scales formative feedback in ways that no other mechanism can. But peer review in higher education has a specificity problem: students trained in secondary school to give vague, positive feedback do not automatically give better feedback in university.

How college and university instructors use it
Peer review scenarios, not generic examples.
A 200-person Introduction to Psychology course implements peer review at scale
An Intro Psychology professor teaches 200 students in a large lecture course. She assigns a research paper worth 25% of the grade. Previously, feedback was limited to TA comments after the final submission. This semester she implements mid-draft peer review using the AI Peer Review Helper. Each student reviews two peers using prompts the AI generates, with criteria from her rubric added.
A graduate seminar uses anonymous peer review to enable genuine intellectual critique
A graduate seminar in Philosophy has 12 students who will eventually be colleagues and competitors. The social dynamics suppress candid peer critique, students are reluctant to challenge a paper that belongs to someone they know. Each student reviews two papers with no knowledge of whose work they are reviewing.
A professional communication instructor builds feedback quality as an explicit course learning outcome. Students are assessed on the quality of the peer review they give, not just the work they produce.

Questions teachers ask
How does the tool generate discipline-specific feedback prompts?
The form has no rubric box, so add your rubric criteria to the guide and write prompts aligned to each one. A political science paper rubric produces prompts that engage with argument quality, evidence use, and theoretical frameworks. A chemistry lab rubric produces prompts about hypothesis quality, methodological soundness, and data interpretation. Prompts you write this way are rubric-driven, not discipline-hardcoded.
Can the peer review helper scale to 200+ student courses?
The tool does not assign reviewers or collect reviews, so it runs no course of any size. You can make one guide and post it for the whole course, then set up the pairing in your own course system.
Is anonymous peer review technically reliable in OpenEduCat?
This tool has no anonymous peer review. It stores no identities and holds no reviews. Use your own course system if it offers that feature.
Can peer review quality scores be used as part of the summative grade?
There are no quality scores here. The guide is for students to use with a partner. If you want credit for reviews in the grade, mark them yourself under your own course rules.
Can I use the tool for peer review of multimodal assignments?
Yes. For oral presentations, video essays, design artefacts, and other non-written assignments, choose the closest assignment type and add the rubric criteria for that medium. Presentation feedback prompts focus on delivery, structure, and visual communication rather than written argumentation.
