Turnitin Peermark is, just like Turnitin Feedbackstudio,  integrated in Brightspace. Peermark enables students to give feedback on the work of their peers. You have full control on how the assignments are distributed amongst the students, and how many assignments each student must give feedback on.

Pitch2Peer enables students, just like Peermark, to give feedback on their peers' assignments. Where Peermark is primarily suited for papers and essays, Pitch2Peer focuses on the review of videos, photos, posters, slideshows, and animations.

FeedbackFruits (FbF) is a tool designed with interaction and feedback in mind. This tool allows you to choose from an array of different assignments. For instance, you can prompt a discussion amongst your students in the margins of a video or text, enable them to give interactive presentations, and review the assignments of their peers. You can find an overview of all the functionalities that FbF offers, and their uses, on the FeedbackFruits website
