Peer feedback is a key determinant of student achievement, helping to foster career ready skills, stimulating meaningful learning interactions and improving learners’ self-regulatory processes. Read more about the power of peer feedback ↗

Peer feedback is invaluable, yet it can be time-consuming to implement due to the multiple manual tasks required, not to mention students’ lack of engagement and motivation to participate.

Our Peer Review tool will help simplify this process to save you valuable time.

Instructors create peer feedback assignments, set instructions, deadlines, and specify the criteria. Everything is done within your LMS, no log in needed.

Within one LMS assignment, students submit their work, provide feedback on their peers’ work, then reflect on the received comments to improve their final product.

Instructors receive real time overview of students' performance throughout the assignment to make appropriate curriculum interventions, or adjustments.

Change peer review activity types: individuals review an assigned peer or within groups, or individuals give feedback to someone outside their groups.

Set up a self-reflection step for students to reflect on their own contribution before reviewing others, based on the same criteria used for peer review. This helps teachers compare how students reflect on their own performance versus that of others. 

Convert any activities into summative assessments, configure which assignment steps to be graded and how much each should contribute to the final grade.

Control when students can see the received feedback: instantly, or after certain deadlines to avoid bias.

Choose between students reviewing each other openly or anonymously using fruity pseudonyms to avoid bias and maintain objectivity.
