Buddycheck is fully integrated into Canvas, with a university-wide institutional license in place, making Buddycheck an easy tool for staff and students to access and use. Buddycheck was introduced following a pilot conducted by CIE in 2019 exploring replacements for the former peer evaluation tool ‘WebPA’.
This DIY Guide presents a number of resources that you can use for a successful implementation of Buddycheck.
Please see this case study from the pilot in 2019: Peer evaluation of groupwork with Canvas and Buddycheck on a practical Life Sciences module
