Peer learning

Take the stress out of managing peer learning

Works for any group size

Wooclap makes it easier to foster engagement and collaboration by supporting structured peer learning activities—no matter the size of your class.

Easily collect group work outcomes

Wooclap helps you collect ideas and outcomes from all groups in one place, so you can focus on supporting discussions and guiding the learning process.

What peer learning actually looks like with Wooclap

Peer instruction made easy

Forget about long and passive lectures. The peer instruction method, developed by Professor Eric Mazur from Harvard University, works especially well for large groups. It helps break down complex concepts that would otherwise take hours of lecture time with little understanding from the audience.

Have students prep before class, then challenge them with a conceptual multiple choice question and check their confidence with a quick poll or a rating scale.

You spot right away if students get it. If not? Time for a peer discussion!

Then, they vote again. And with comparison mode, you can clearly see the shift in answers, and confidence. What stuck, what didn’t and what needs another go. No more guessing.

Classroom

Group work without the chaos

Group work is great in theory, but when you have 30+ students (or more) talking at once, it can get pretty messy. You can’t be everywhere at once, and check how things are going with each group.

With Wooclap, it’s easier to keep group work structured and visible by using an online brainstorming board or an open question to collect input from each group in real time. You can even turn the Message Wall into a shared space for groups to post their conclusions, written or visual.

It’s all in one place, making it simple to highlight great ideas, share with the whole class, or check them out at the end of the session.

Smooth peer review and evaluation

Peer evaluation is a great way to develop critical thinking skills and help students take a step back to reflect on what they see and hear. But it’s not always easy to get them to give useful, respectful feedback on a classmate’s work.

With Wooclap, students can easily assess their peers by answering to a rating or scale question, or add a more qualitative comment with an open-ended question. For example: “Rate this team’s approach to the problem and explain why.”

You can even use a combination of criteria, such as content quality, clarity or presentation skills, and display the results at the end. Answers can be anonymous, so feedback remains honest and constructive.
