The peer review activity lets learners review submissions made by their peers. One of the most effective ways to learn is to review work made by others. With the peer review activity, learners are asked to review submissions from their peers made in an earlier submission activity.
How it works
The peer review activity requires a submission activity, learners will give feedback to each other with the help of a standardised peer feedback rubric. The peer review activity can be followed up with feedback reflection activity where learners are able to see and reflect on their received feedback.
Completion
Learners complete the activity by finishing all the required reviews ✅

Give your peer review activity a title and a description.
Make sure to specify the right submission activity as source for the peer review activity. Learners will review the work of others submitted in this submission activity.
Under peer review settings you can set the required number of reviews and allow learners to make additional reviews.
By default peer reviews are done anonymously, in the peer review settings you can change this and allow learners to see who they are giving peer feedback to.
