Eli Review vs peerScholar

Eli Review is a web-based peer learning platform for courses that use peer review and related learning activities. Learners respond to criteria-based questions and prompts, and instructors can use helpfulness ratings to assess the usefulness of that feedback. Learners can make revision plans, submit revised drafts, and compare versions to see what changed. For course coordination, Eli can sync rosters from an LMS, automatically create review groups, send reminders, and schedule reusable assignment sequences. Its analytics track effort, participation, and reciprocity, while Data Stories highlight patterns in those areas and learner growth over time. Learners are also categorized as Strong, Steady, Emerging, or Stalled. Educators in higher education and K12 use Eli across disciplines. Instructor access is free for unlimited courses and all platform features. Student access costs 28.95 USD once for one term of four months, or $52.95 a year for 12 months. Institutional pricing varies by program size, expected use, and implementation goals.
