What is peer feedback?

Peer feedback is the feedback exchanged between 'equals', according to Renée Filius, head lecturer at Utrecht University. In other words, peer feedback refers to the comments or suggestions provided by students to their classmates’ work. Usually appearing in the form of peer and group evaluations, peer feedback fosters learners' objectivity, critical thinking, motivation and engagement throughout the learning experience.

What are the challenges of peer feedback?

Facilitating peer/group feedback is not an easy job, as instructors often struggle with:

  • Low feedback quality: The peer feedback quality from peers differs from that of teachers.
  • Scalability of online peer feedback: Organizing peer feedback is a time-consuming and complicated task. It is possible in small groups, but it becomes a major issue with the increasing number of students and the switch to online/hybrid course settings.
