How to use PeerMark
PeerMark is a peer assessment tool for university modules. It allows students to mark each other's work within assigned groups and receive a collated mark from their peers.
Students are organised into groups. Every student marks every other student in their group — if a group has 4 members, each student submits 3 reviews. The final mark is the average of all valid peer scores received.
On the Dashboard, click + New Assignment. Enter the title, module code, submission deadline, marking deadline, and max score per criterion. This creates a record in SharePoint.
Click Edit Criteria on the Dashboard. Add criteria (e.g. "Critical Thinking", "Academic Writing"), give each a description and a percentage weight. Weights must sum to exactly 100%. Click Save to SharePoint when done.
Go to the Groups tab. Export your groups from Moodle as a CSV, or prepare a CSV with four columns: student_id, name, email, group. Click Import CSV. Each unique value in the group column becomes a group. The email must match the student's university Microsoft account.
Download the Sample CSV to see the expected format.
Share the PeerMark URL with your students: https://jonathanongithub.github.io/peermark/. Students sign in with their university Microsoft account. They will automatically see the student view and their assigned peers to review.
The Marking tab shows real-time progress per group and flags any students who have not yet completed their reviews. The Groups tab shows individual member status.
Go to the Moderation tab. Students who did not complete all reviews are automatically flagged — their score will be zero and their submitted reviews are excluded from peers' averages. You can apply an Override to any student's mark if needed (enter a number in the override box next to their name). Click Detail to see all individual peer scores and feedback for any student.
When you are satisfied with the marks, click Release Results to Students in the Moderation tab. This calculates final marks, writes them to SharePoint, and immediately makes them visible to students on their Results page. You can also export a CSV from the Results tab for uploading to Moodle's gradebook.
Visit the PeerMark link provided by your instructor and sign in with your university Microsoft account. You will automatically see the student view — no separate registration is needed.
Go to the Marking tab. You will see one card for each person in your group. For each peer, select Yes or No for each criterion. Click Submit review when done. You can complete reviews in any order and across multiple sessions — your progress is saved to SharePoint each time you submit.
You must submit a review for every member of your group before the marking deadline. The Dashboard shows your progress and the deadline. If you do not complete all reviews in time, your own mark will be zero with no exceptions.
Once your instructor has released results, go to the Results tab. You will see your final mark, a breakdown by criterion, and the scores from each peer reviewer.
No. If you do not complete every review in your group, all of your submitted reviews are discarded entirely and your own mark is zero. There is no partial credit for partial submission.
Not currently — once a review is submitted it is written to SharePoint and cannot be edited by the student. Contact your instructor if you need a correction.
Peer reviewers' names are visible on the results page. The instructor can always see who submitted what.
Your final mark is the simple average of the weighted scores given by all valid peer reviewers in your group. Each reviewer scores you on each criterion separately; the scores are combined using the criterion weights set by your instructor. The instructor may adjust individual marks before releasing results.
All data — group assignments, peer scores, and feedback — is stored in SharePoint Lists within the University of Nottingham's Microsoft 365 tenancy. Data does not leave the university's infrastructure. Authentication uses your existing university Microsoft account.
