iPeer Student Guide

iPeer ( https://peerfeedback.viu.ca ) is a peer feedback tool your instructor may use to facilitate
feedback between you and your peers. Feedback that you enter in iPeer is anonymized before
being shared with your peers, allowing you to give and receive feedback within a team. Your
instructor will be able to see who left which feedback before making feedback available to
review.

System Requirements

iPeer will work in any modern internet browser. We recommend Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari.
Internet Explorer will not work with iPeer. You can use a computer, tablet, or smartphone as long
as you have a stable internet connection.

Sign In

Your instructor will set up an account for you in iPeer and provide you with a temporary
password.

  1. Go to http://peerfeedback.viu.ca
  2. Log in using your username and the password that was provided
  3. Click on your name in the upper right to access your profile
  4. Enter your current password in the Old Password field
  5. Enter and confirm your new password
    • We recommend creating a password with no fewer than 8 characters that includes at least three of the following: upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols.

Forgot Your Password?

If you forget your iPeer password, or if you are having trouble signing in to iPeer, please email
learnsupport@viu.ca and we can reset your password. A new password will be sent to you by
email. We strongly recommend changing that password when you log in to something only you
know.

Your instructor will set up and schedule Evaluation Events for you to give feedback to your peers.

  3. Make sure you have filled out all of the required fields. You will not be able to edit the evaluation after you submit.
  4. Click Submit the Evaluation to save and submit your evaluation.

After everyone has submitted their evaluations and your instructor has reviewed the submissions,
you will be able to return to iPeer and view the evaluations your peers submitted for you.
