Arts and Science Online (ASO) has been piloting peerScholar from May 2021 - September 2022. Consequently, peerScholar is only available for Arts and Science Online course. If you are interested in using peerScholar for a course outside of ASO, please contact the ITServices Support Centre. A decision as to whether to continue with peerScholar will be made mid-summer, 2022. If you are an ASO course instructor and you are interested in the level of peerScholar support available for your course, please email asomm@queensu.ca.
Although peerScholar is supported by Arts and Science Online, teaching teams are encouraged to manage their own peerScholar activities whenever possible. This will expedite response time and improve the student learning experience in your course.
Grading should only commence after all phases of the activity have ended. If grading begins while the activity is still running, the teaching team will need to double back and grade work that was submitted later on.
