David Kofoed Wind, CEO of Peergrade and Eduflow, joins us to discuss how the peer-reviewing process can be beneficial for students and educators!
Eduflow is rapidly becoming one a best-in-class LMS, including a cutting edge peer grading system that both saves instructor time and provides learning opportunities for learners and graders alike. David Kofoed Wind, the CEO of Peergrade and Eduflow describes his unusual journey from university teaching to edtech in Copenhagen, Denmark, and how Eduflow is working to make online, asynchronous collaborative learning into a new paradigm for education.We also talk about Artificial Intelligence, and David is one of the rare people who both deeply understands AI and does not necessarily believe that it solves all core education problems; he states how a fully AI-based grading system would simply deprives learners from the educational experience of grading others' work.

GENHØR GPT-3 er et stykke maskinlæring, der kan skrive om alle emner mellem himmel og jord - eller alle emner beskrevet på internettet. GPT-3 har sat nettet og folk med interesse for kunstig intelligens på den anden ende, siden den blev introduceret af firmaet Open AI d. 20. juli. Men hvad er det egentlig GPT-3 kan? Og skal vi være imponerede, skræmte eller bare trække på skuldrene? Jeg har inviteret tre gæster for at finde ud af det. Professor og phd i logik og kunstig intelligens på DTU Compute Thomas Bolander - og forfatter til bogen HVORDAN ser fremtiden ud med kunstig intelligens? David Kofoed Wind, ceo, Eduflow.

I sat down with David from Peergrade to discuss the importance of collaboration in education. Our conversation ranged from bad timings at Y Combinator, comparing the evolution of communication to speech recognition technology, the silliness of telepresence robots, and why education hasn't changed muched in over 1,000 years. Also, I convince David to get an Oculus Go for his birthday. David is the co-founder and CEO of Peergrade, a peer feedback platform used by thousands of schools, universities and businesses.
On today's podcast, we chatted with David Kofoed Wind, CEO of Peergrade. We discussed the peer system learning approach, how common language helps peers reinforce concepts to each other and how the real "fun" in learning systems can be the actual learning itself.

I denne podcast taler jeg med David Kofoed Wind, som er co-founder og CEO i virksomheden Peergrade. Peergrade er et stykke software, som faciliterer at studerende får feedback på deres arbejde fra hinanden frem for fra en underviser. Programmet bliver nu anvendt på en række af uddannelsesinstitutioner både i Danmark og udlandet Peergrade er et spændende eksempel på hvordan en radikal ny måde at gøre tingene på bliver mødt af en til tider traditionel uddannelsesverden. I interviewet taler jeg med David om, hvilken rolle underviseren får i en digital verden? Og hvordan uddannelse kommer til at blive påvirket af teknologi? God fornøjelse med podcasten.
Ladies and gentlemen, The EdTech Bites Podcast has officially gone international! Yeah I said it, international baby! In episode 12, I chat with David Kofoed Wind to discuss Peergrade. David lives in Copenhagen, Denmark and is the CEO and creator of Peergrade. For those of you who do not know what Peergrade is all about, let me explain it to you. What do you do when students turn in a rough draft of an essay? You usually randomly hand them back so they may do a bit of peer editing. Students usually mark them up with corrections, ideas, and feedback. Imagine being able to do this with digital submissions via Google Classroom! That's exactly what Peergrade gives you the power to do. Boom! Bang! Pow! David discusses the ins and outs of Peergrade, the importance of student feedback, as well as Danish cuisine which includes a dessert named Rødgrød Med Fløde. It's a strawberry pudding that is topped with fresh cream. It sounds delicious but do not ask me to pronounce it, I'll leave that to him. Check out this episode and check out Peergrade as well. It integrates with Google Classroom and other LMS platforms for ease of use for teachers as well as students. Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and please leave a review. Thank you and as always, Buen Provecho! In this case, Velbekomme!
I like to think that I have a wonderful rapport with my students. And yet…I’m still their teacher which is a significant barrier. I also have 40 years on my kids. To them, I’m someone who has a lot more yesterdays than tomorrows. My observations on their lives, while I hope respected and valued, does not carry the weight of a peer.Just 4 sentences into this intro, the wonderful word peer makes its grand entrance. Peer acceptance, peer constructive criticism, peer praise, and peer collaboration are the powerful fuels that ignite and propel the outstanding education tool called Peergrade. Anyone who’s taught for more than 5 minutes knows the power of peer influence.In this episode, I’ll interview David Kofoed Wind the founder of Peergrade. Peergrade is a marvelous way to capitalize on kid’s natural inclination to listen to their peers. This tool randomly assigns student creations to classmates and then guides and monitors evaluations. Peer feedback is not only highly valued but it’s also welcomed because it’s often couched in contemporary youth vernacular. Kids understand how to communicate with other kids. And finally, a student evaluator who focuses on just one narrative written by just one peer does not suffer eye-strain and fatigue that teachers often experience wading through 100 student narratives. A 1 on1 evaluation experience is a fresher, focused, and perhaps more useful interaction.Joining me in the Room 111 Studios is Kristen Spayde. Kristen may sound familiar. She starred in Episode 39 about going paperless and in Episode 58 when we dished with the HyperDocs Girls. Please give this awesome tool a try!
