Success Story
David Liddell is a School of Public and International Affairs Alumni at The University of Georgia. He used PeerDoc and PeerPoll in his Master’s Program in Public Administration (MPA).
Challenge
Liddell’s Master’s Program required extensive review of case study-style, semester-long projects. His learning environment needed a low-cost solution for receiving feedback, communicating reviews, and offering suggestions on analysis presentations.
Customized Solution
Our team has partnered with Liddell’s professor to take his learning experience to the next level with Rampant Strategy’s PeerDoc and PeerPoll products. PeerDoc has allowed a high degree of transparency, collaboration, and learning with his fellow students. The platform has harnessed the ability to see and comment on the work of other groups and helped receive feedback on his work. His professors used PeerPoll to keep him engaged and on task during lectures and kept him aware of what his classmates were thinking while still allowing individual anonymity.
“It is beneficial to be able to view comments from peers and the instructor in the same place, which meant I had ample guidance on how to improve my work. No other learning tool I’ve encountered does it this way.”

Results
Liddell’s learning experience was enhanced and optimized in his time of completing his Master's Program. From reviewing the comments of peer reviewers (via PeerDoc) on the first two case assignments of his semester-long project, he was able to know if he was on the right track. He was able to receive beneficial suggestions for communicating his analysis more clearly. The guidance and transparency have transformed his learning experience, allowing him to successfully make improvements. He overall felt connected to every student in the program and continues to recommend PeerDoc/PeerPoll to every student because of its substantial value.
