Expertiza vs Student Peer Review

Expertiza is a free, open-source web application for instructors to deploy assignments and students to submit and peer-review learning objects. Submissions can include articles, code, websites, URLs, and wiki pages; students can also form teams and sign up for topics. The system supports rubric scoring, moderation, one-way reviewer anonymity, and manual review allocation. The project says it is used in select NC State courses and by professors at several other colleges and universities. It can be run locally or deployed to production, with development setup guides for Ubuntu/Debian, macOS, and Linux RHEL. Developers need a JVM. A documented Moodle LTI integration allows assignments to launch from Moodle and sends grades to its gradebook, but setup requires a Moodle administrator to register and activate Expertiza as an external tool provider. The project also describes a generic synchronization interface intended for LMS platforms such as Blackboard or Canvas. The repository lists an MIT license and points to instructor and student manuals, presentations, and videos.

Student Peer Review is a web-based assessment tool that uses peer learning and artificial intelligence to assess students, gauge understanding, and support learning of curricular concepts with less teacher clerical work. Instructors can build essays, videos, graphics, or multiple-choice assessments. AI content generation covers assessments, quizzes, questions, rubrics, passages, and sample answers; the site also describes using ChatGPT to help instructors create assessments. Listed instructor tools include controlling an AI robot, limiting student use of selected AI tools, collaboratively measuring individual results, and locating misunderstood concepts. The stated audiences range from K-12 schools and colleges to trade schools, businesses, corporations, and government organizations. The Free plan is free and covers one course, 50 students, and 10 assessments for six months, with unlimited features and no credit card. AI Subscription costs $3 a month, with 600,000 generated words and no expiration; a separate AI trial is available for 30 days with 10,000 words. Annual plans cost $8 a year and $25 a year.
