Evaluating PeerWise

In order to evaluate my first use of PeerWise I have collaborated with Dr Barry Ryan, (School of Food Science and Environmental Health, DIT), Dr Aaron Mac Raighne, Dr Rob Howard, (School of Physics, DIT) and Dr Morag Casey, (School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Glasgow) to carry out a multidisciplinary, inter-institutional evaluation of its use in teaching first year students in Science subjects (Chemistry and Physics). One evaluation sheet has been designed by the evaluators to capture constructive feedback from the different student groups. I will be presenting our findings at the International Conference in Chemistry Education this summer.
