The record

Purpose: ComPAIR pairs student answers for peer review, comparison, and feedback.
Adaptive scoring: Instructors can enable scores that adapt to how an answer performs in comparisons and use them to generate subsequent pairs.
Peer feedback: Students can refer to both answers in a pair when writing feedback, which the site says can support richer feedback and deeper critical thinking.
Intended users: The tool is described as suitable for higher education and K-12 communities.
Roles: ComPAIR provides student, instructor, and system administrator roles with different permissions.
Integrations: The application supports LTI login and course membership and grade updates for LTI consumers.
Learning analytics: ComPAIR can send learning analytics using xAPI or Caliper to a Learning Record Store; both are disabled by default.
Authentication: The README documents username and password, CAS, SAML 2.0, and LTI authentication options.
Attachments: The default attachment upload limit is 250 MB, with PDF, audio, video, and image extensions listed as allowed by default.
Media integration: Kaltura uploads can be enabled as an optional media attachment integration, and the README says only version 3 of the Kaltura API is supported.
Privacy settings: Administrators can control whether instructors can access student email addresses and CAS/SAML usernames; those fields are disabled by default.
Transport security setting: The README says SSL enforcement for requests through LTI and CAS is enabled by default and should only be disabled for development or staging.
License and availability: The project is open source under GPL-3.0 and described as freely available to download, install, and use.
Support: The ComPAIR site says its support site has moved to compair.open.ubc.ca.
