Kritik360 vs PeerEval

Kritik360 is a web-based peer assessment product that helps students give constructive feedback on classmates’ work. Students assess peers anonymously with rubrics and can respond to feedback on their own evaluations. Instructors can upload a syllabus for AI to generate customizable assignments and rubrics, and calibration helps align student grading with an instructor’s baseline. The service integrates with learning management systems through LTI 1.3, supporting single sign-on, roster sync, and grade sync. Listed systems include Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard Ultra, Brightspace by D2L, Coursera, Schoology, Google Classroom, and Microsoft Teams (O365). Kritik advertises instructional designer and onboarding specialist support, plus 24/7 live chat. It says its services are hosted on AWS, data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and storage is in Canada or the United States according to the institution’s location. Educator access is free. Kritik Scholar costs $29, paid once per student per course for one product; the page lists $49 for a two-product bundle. K-12 students get the first term free.

PeerEval is a peer assessment tool for classroom evaluation sessions. Instructors use a browser interface to enroll students, build evaluation rubrics and download results for analysis. Rubric scoring and moderation tools are supported, along with learning management system integration and gradebook synchronization. Students enter an instructor-provided session name to access an evaluation, add written comments and modify submitted work while the class session remains active. The service runs on the web, and an iPhone app is listed as free on the Canadian App Store. PeerEval is described as paid, but pricing is available only on request and the maker’s pages do not state plan amounts. The App Store identifies Thomas N Robb as the developer and seller. Apple’s listing says the developer has not provided privacy-practice details to Apple. Instructors therefore get browser-based setup and result handling, while students complete and revise rubric-based peer evaluations during class activities.
