    Hypothesis for Your Summer Course

    Join us for a special summer session packed with fresh ideas, practical strategies, and inspiration to make your summer courses more interactive, engaging, and student-centered. Whether you’re teaching online or in person, summer courses come with unique challenges: shorter timelines, fast-paced content, and limited opportunities for connection. In this session, we’ll show how social annotation can help students stay engaged, keep up with the material, and collaborate meaningfully—even in the most accelerated summer formats.

    What 20 Years of Learning Science Research Says About How Psychology Students Actually Improve

    As researchers, psychology instructors know firsthand that peer review sharpens arguments, surfaces blind spots, and produces better work. Dr. Christian Schunn, Senior Scientist at the University of Pittsburgh's LRDC and Professor of Psychology, spent over 20 years studying whether the same principle holds true in the classroom. What he found was consistent: students who give feedback learn more than students who simply receive it, and outcomes improve measurably across the board.

    Teaching Scientifically: How Biology Instructors are Using Research-backed Peer Assessment to Improve Grades and Reduce Scoring Time

    In this webinar, we’ll dig into the research behind peer-to-peer learning and how structured peer assessment leads to measurably better outcomes on lab reports, written assignments, and project-based assignments. We’ll also show how Peerceptiv puts this pedagogy into practice, handling the entire feedback process so every student gets more thoughtful, rubric-guided input than any instructor or TA could deliver alone. Register for the webinar to see how 20+ years of peer learning research translates into better student outcomes in your course.
