PeerWise is an online learning tool that affords students the opportunity to create and manage question banks for a given course. Questions are authored, answered, and evaluated by the students. Effective use of PeerWise can result in the creation (by the students) of a valuable study tool (for the students). Courses begin with an empty question bank, and as the term progresses, more and more questions are entered. Each student has the opportunity to author an unlimited number of questions, and can use other student submissions to test their knowledge. Students also are given the opportunity to evaluate, rate, and comment on questions posed by their peers. All submissions appear as anonymous, however, all activity is known to the instructor.

Essentially, PeerWise provides a unique opportunity for students to generate their own study materials, requires students to investigate concepts to the degree that they can construct valid questions, and takes no more than a few minutes to set up for any course.
