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 ✅
