PeerWise shows benefits in practice

The use of PeerWise as a tool to promote peer-learning has been discussed previously in Education in Chemistry, and the system is now used in over 700 educational establishments. In this article, Galloway and Burns present evidence of its effectiveness based on evaluation of a two year study at the University of Nottingham.

David Read summarises and reviews the article and evidence.
