The role of the instructor
• The instructor first explains the setup of the activity as well as giving instructions within the tool.
The interpretation of the scale rating criteria is explained to optimise feedback and evaluation.
• After students have progressed with the exercise, the instructor reviews the comments being made inside the platform. In class, the instructor mediates discussions covering points raised during the feedback exercise, whereby learners are guided towards the crucial aspects of the podcast.
• The instructor can overview the progress of each group and student within the platform, also seeing the number of comments each group has given and received.
Added value of technology
• “[Peer Review] enabled me to try new methods in teaching, prompt self-reflection on feedback, and guarantee anonymity in an online platform”.
• The FeedbackFruits group sync from the LMS used the pre-existing groups made by the instructor; manually selecting and constructing new groups was hereby avoided.
