Marka vs PeerEval

Marka is peer evaluation software for teachers collecting rubric-based feedback on classroom group work and producing consolidated reports. Teachers can create reusable analytic or holistic rubrics with their own scoring scales and criterion indicators. Students see aggregate results and unattributed public notes, not individual peer scores. Results and notes stay hidden until at least three evaluators submit, unless a teacher overrides the threshold for a student. A teacher-only Peer Integrity Engine flags patterns such as free-riding, mismatched self-ratings, rushed scoring, cliques, and rater bias; it does not change scores automatically. Reports can include dashboards, CSV exports, cross-period comparisons, printable reports, and gradebook-ready exports. Teachers import rosters from CSV, and students enter with teacher-issued seven-character codes without creating accounts or providing email addresses. Marka works without an LMS connection and is available on the web and through a lightweight Android app. Its free Basic plan supports up to 3 classes and 50 students per class, with full report preview only.

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.
