Research has shown a generally positive relationship between the use of learning technologies and student engagement. In this workshop, I will share my experiences with a new, home-grown UBC WordPress product – STUDIORUM – which was designed to promote and facilitate student engagement in peer review. In this workshop, I will describe how I have used STUDIORUM in two courses: a first-year required writing course and a third-year English course. I will also outline what I consider to be the strengths and challenges of STUDIORUM for both peer review and providing feedback on students’ work, and report my students’ feedback on working with the product.
