Kritik360 vs PeerEvals

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.

PeerEvals is a free web-based peer assessment platform for educators running group projects and team-based learning. Instructors can define rubric criteria and organize evaluations into multiple phases, with deadlines and timezone support for each phase. Dashboards and heat maps show progress, while reports and data exports support review of results. CSV imports handle student and group data, and role-based access separates student, teacher, and administrator workflows. The listing identifies rubric scoring and says a paid tier is not required for the core job. Instructor account requests are reviewed by an administrator. Students do not register through that page; instructors add them to the class. PeerEvals does not include AI-assisted evaluation features, so the listed workflow centers on rubrics, phased evaluations, progress tracking, and reporting. It is accessed on the web. These account and workflow details matter when planning how a class will be set up and who will initiate participation.
