Learning Activities Used

Peer Review

Stimulate lifelong learning with peer feedback

In this activity

  • The peer review is intended to be completed before the final submission, allowing students to internalize the assessment criteria and apply suggestions to improve their work. The same rubric can also be used for final submissions if desired.
  • Structured feedback criteria are provided in the form of a rubric, focusing on deliverables from robotics or game design projects.
  • Self-assessment is enabled, encouraging students to review their own work first, fostering reflection and familiarity with the feedback criteria.
  • Reviewer anonymity is enabled to promote honest and constructive feedback, though this setting can be adjusted if preferred.
  • Students submit work as a group and review others’ work individually, but this configuration can be modified to suit your course needs.
