A peer review assignment enables students to provide feedback on another student's assignment submission. Peer reviews are a tool that allows communication between students and can help students master the concepts of a course and learn from each other.
In the CLE, PeerMark is the peer review assignment tool. Instructors can create and manage assignments that allow students to read, review, and evaluate one or many papers submitted by their classmates.
Some of the key features of PeerMark include:
- instructors can choose whether the reviews are anonymous or attributed;
- papers can be assigned automatically, manually selected by the instructor, or self-selected by the student;
- students can be paired by the instructor with multiple reviewers;
- non-submitting students can be allowed to review papers;
- students can write reviews by responding to free-response or scale questions set by the instructor;
- instructors can add libraries of questions for easy inclusion into PeerMark assignments;
- questions can be edited, deleted, or reordered.
