The PRP Quality Journey:
Key Pivots in a Global Transformation
(by Sara and Ian Booth, Founders of Online Peer Solutions)
The evolution of the Peer Review Portal into PRP Quality reflects a series of strategic pivots driven by sector needs, global challenges, and a deep commitment to educational equity.
Originally developed over ten years ago in response to Australia’s introduction of external referencing and sector-wide benchmarking, PRP began as a user-focused tool designed to streamline academic quality reviews.
The onset of COVID-19 marked a major turning point, accelerating PRP’s transformation into a fully cloud-based quality assurance ecosystem, enabling remote collaboration across institutions, regulators, and professional bodies.
As the sector has evolved, PRP expanded beyond assessment reviews to offer institutional self-assessments, real-time student performance analysis, scholarly practice digital tools and benchmarking reporting tools. This expansion positioned PRP as a comprehensive quality infrastructure—addressing not only compliance but institutional capability-building.
Reports such as the Moorhouse Report (2023) underscored the growing burden of regulation. In response, PRP simplified evidence management through digital document sets and institutional self-assessment audits, enabling providers to focus on self-assurance.
Quoted as a “Ferrari at a Kmart price,” PRP’s value to the sector became undeniable. Yet, with its increasing reach and social mission, the founders made a bold pivot—from an initial portal to a platform with purpose.
In 2025, the Peer Review Portal formally transitioned to become PRP Quality Platform - shifting focus to support current sector needs of Self-Assessment, Quality Assurance, Governance and connecting to peers and industry experts and independent reviewers.
Today, PRP Quality is more than a platform—it is a global movement. Aligned with SDG 4, it fosters inclusive, high-quality education by supporting institutions in Australia and across borders in building trust, capability, and self-assurance.
The journey continues—where quality education is not a privilege, but a promise for all.
