PeerSurvey Redesign

HCI design project rethinking how peer review works in Canvas — the LMS used across Georgia Tech. The existing flow buries feedback in forms and disconnects reviewing from the actual document being evaluated. This project diagnosed those gaps through surveys, heuristic evaluation, and forum analysis, then prototyped a new experience. My contribution, PeerView, introduces a comment-centric, split-screen review interface built to make giving and receiving feedback feel natural and useful rather than obligatory.

1. led design and prototyping for Prototype 1 (PeerView) — the highest-rated concept among 17 evaluation participants
2. designed a split-screen editor with the submission on the left and a structured feedback panel on the right
3. introduced inline highlight-to-comment interactions with typed categories: Thought, Question, Nit, and Action
4. built a dashboard view surfacing assigned and received reviews at a glance, reducing the cognitive overhead of the native Canvas flow
5. added a confirmation modal before posting feedback to reduce accidental submissions and give reviewers a moment to reflect
6. designed a read-only received feedback view that preserves inline context alongside written comments
7. contributed to the full research pipeline: survey design, heuristic evaluation, and comparative usability study
