Peer Network
A searchable directory of students and researchers across your institution and beyond.
How the network works
Every Espeezy user has a public profile that shows their subject areas, skills, current workspaces they are open to collaborating on, and their contribution rating (an aggregate score from completed group projects). You can follow other students, send collaboration invites, or message them directly.
Skill tags and discovery
When you set up your profile you add up to 15 skill tags (for example: Python, Literature Review, Graphic Design, Data Analysis). The network directory is searchable by skill tag, institution, year of study, and subject area. You can filter by students who are currently looking for project collaborators.
Contribution rating
Your contribution rating is calculated from all your completed projects. It is a number from 1 to 5 based on: effort points completed on time, peer review quality (upvotes on your review comments), and consistency across projects. This rating is visible on your profile and can be included on exported certificates.
- 5.0: exceptional, consistent contributor across all projects
- 4.0-4.9: strong contributor, minor inconsistencies
- 3.0-3.9: average, some late or incomplete tasks
- Below 3.0: at-risk, flagged to advisor (if institution enabled this)
Cross-institutional collaboration
Espeezy supports inter-institutional projects. If your educator enables the global network, you can search for and collaborate with students from partner universities in other countries. Cross-institutional workspaces have an additional verification step to confirm all participants are enrolled students.
Privacy controls
Your profile is private by default. You can set it to: Institution Only (visible to students and staff at your university), Network (visible to all Espeezy users), or Collaboration Open (publicly visible and listed in the collaboration directory). You can hide your contribution rating at any time.
ELI12: The Simple Explanation
It is like a school yearbook that is also a team builder. Every student has a card showing what they are good at. If you need someone who is great at coding or design for your project, you just search for them and send a message. They can join your team with one click.
