PeerWise is a free, online system that allows student groups to author, answer, rate, and comment on student-generated multiple-choice questions. It incorporates social functionality common to many Web 2.0 applications.
On July 11, from 10:30 am – 12:00 pm in the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre, Simon Bates will be facilitating an interactive workshop on PeerWise as part of the Western Conference on Science Education. This session will present an introduction to PeerWise and be delivered through Blackboard Collaborate. Attendees will gain a good understanding of the capabilities of the system and the potential it can offer for use in a wide range of courses.
All members of the UBC teaching and learning community are welcome to register and attend the workshop for free: www.events.ctlt.ubc.ca/view/2679.
