Dr. Silvia Bartolic, an instructor in the Department of Sociology, will share her experience with peer assessment activities in her courses. As one of the first UBC instructors to use the Canvas Peer Review tool, she has made extensive use of this tool for peer assessments of presentations, written work and group projects. In addition, Silvia has also used the iPeer platform to assign peer evaluation of team member contributions. By making use of peer assessments at both the individual and group level, Silvia has helped to increase the accountability students feel toward their group members, while also helping them learn from each other. Participants in this session can look forward to learning: tips on best practices, how to avoid common pitfalls in peer assessments, and how Peer Review technologies can help enhance student learning experiences.
