Teaching Scenarios

iPeer helps collect feedback within student teams. This encourages accountability in group work, and provides students with opportunities to reflect and be heard by the instructor.

Any feedback given is anonymous, and instructors can choose whether they want the results to be released or not.

Evaluations can be created from scratch, with a variety of question types (Likert, Paragraph, Sentence, Dropdown) to choose from. These can be saved and re-used in future courses.

Grades can be synced to Canvas, or exported to a CSV for further analysis.

Instructors @ UBC Sauder

iPeer is used commonly at Sauder to get students to:

1 — Reflect

Students can be given a text box to write in.

How did this teammate contribute most when working working with others?

2 — Rate

Students can be given a Likert scale to click on.

Rate this person’s participation. A rating of “3” indicates that the team member’s contributions met your expectation. A rating of “4” means that the team member contributed slightly more than expected, and “5” reflects a contribution well above your expectation. Similarly, a “2” reflects a contribution slightly less than expected and a “1” is a contribution that was much below what was acceptable.

3 — Distribute

Students can be given a dynamic slider to adjust for each group member.

Example — Did each group member contribute equally? Rate your peer’s relative performance using the sliders below.

Student Presentations

Student Presentations (Group/Individual)

Asking students to present their work to the class is a very effective, and often times authentic, way to assess students. Presentations can be conducted synchronously in class, asynchronously in the form of an assignment, or a combination (i.e. recorded presentation, synchronous question and answer period). In addition, presentations can be conducted offline or online, and individually or in groups.

Asynchronous Presentations

Asynchronous presentations are a way for students to take the time to develop and record a presentation and submit it via Canvas.

Individual Asynchronous Presentations

Asynchronous individual presentations are a way for students to take time to develop and record a presentation and submit it via Canvas. Sauder Instructors are recommended to use My Media in Canvas.

Group Asynchronous Presentations

Asynchronous group presentations are a way for students to have time to work as a group outside of class to develop and record a presentation and submit it via Canvas. Sauder Instructors are recommended to advise students to use ZOOM and submit in Canvas.

Synchronous Presentations (in Person/Online)

Synchronous presentations are a way for students to practice their presentation skills and create interaction with the rest of the class. For online, students can present using ZOOM as individuals or in groups. Hosts can allow students to share screens, videos, and audio. Students can identify one student to share their screen and navigate the slides if working in groups.

Online Individual Synchronous Presentations

Synchronous individual presentations are a way for students to take time to develop and record a presentation and submit it via Canvas. Sauder Instructors are recommended to use My Media in Canvas. Here are some instructions for this (insert link here).

Online Group Synchronous Presentations

Synchronous group presentations are a way for students to develop their presentation skills as well as gather experience working with teammates. Instructions coming soon.

  • Student Facing Instructions- ZOOM Synchronous Group Presentations: Here are student-facing instructions for student group presentations within an instructor’s ZOOM course room where student groups are sent to instructors’ breakout rooms and record their presentations.  Students are then shown how to access and upload their recorded video into the Canvas course Media Gallery.  The instructions are for 1 video of all students presenting and this video will be available to all students to see when in Media Gallery.
    • NOTE: Instructors will need to give all students co-host roles in ZOOM before sending students to breakout rooms and enable a media gallery in their course before students upload to the media gallery. 
    • Student Facing Instructions: Synchronous Group Presentations in ZOOM.  Please email help@sauder.ubc.ca so we can copy these instructions into the Canvas course for release to students.
