Peer Review Assignment Best Practices for Instructors

Canvas has a built-in Peer Review tool that allows instructors to assign student submissions to each other for feedback. This feature can be enabled for groups and can be set up to be anonymous. 

If the built-in tool in Canvas doesn’t meet your needs, there may be other options . 

Before You Start

We strongly recommend working with your LSP if you want to create a peer review assignment in Canvas to create the best experience for you and your students.

• Consider providing clear instructions or a rubric in your assignment for students on what a peer review is in Canvas , how they will grade, and how they can view their feedback .
• We recommend reiterating to students that it is important that they submit on time so they don’t hold the assignment up for others in the course.
• Students who haven’t submitted an assignment can no longer be invited to review others’ work. If students don’t submit, they can’t participate. 

How to Create a Peer Review Assignment in Canvas

• If this will be a group assignment, you will see an additional option to “Allow intra-group peer reviews”. Select this if you would like Canvas to select a member of the same group for that student to review.

Note – Canvas assigns peer reviews to individuals, EVEN if it’s a Group Project assignment. The only project member who will see feedback is the one the peer reviewer was assigned to. It will not be visible to other project members.

• If you select assign reviews manually , instructors will need to go in and pair up the students after students have finished submitting their assignments.
• Instructors should provide a buffer for students to allow for late submissions and not use the same time as the due date of the assignment.
• Once all additional settings have been configured, save and publish the assignment.
• Students will receive an email and a to do list item once they have been assigned a peer to review. Students will not receive a peer to review until they submit the assignment.

Keep in Mind

• We recommend using the Manually Assign Peer Reviews option (see screenshot below) to assign peer reviews later if they need to be done at a specific time. 

• “ If a student has not submitted the assignment or submits the assignment after the due date, the student will not automatically be assigned a peer review and you must manually assign one. ”
• For assignments with Turnitin enabled, only the original student can see the originality score, not the assigned reviewer. Reviewers won’t be able to assess this information, since it isn’t visible to them.

Known Issues 

The manual drag and drop option to assign peer reviews has not been reliable . For the best experience, we recommend using the “assign peer reviews now” option for this need instead.

• Automatic (randomly assigned) peer reviews may take up to an hour to be assigned to students. We recommend letting your students know that there may be a delay before submissions are available to them to review.
• Clear your cache on a PC  
• Clear your cache on a Mac  

Please try the instructions linked above for your preferred browser and then open a new window and try logging in again. 

Clearing the browser cache can also sometimes solve issues students are having with peer reviews, and the above instructions may be helpful to share with them as well.

Other Peer Review Options

• Wharton instructors – contact the Wharton Courseware team ( [email protected] ) for a full list of your options for peer review assignments. 
• If you’re already using Perusall in your course, consider using Perusall’s peer review functions . 
• For group assignments: consider creating a Canvas discussion board or using Ed Discussion to allow students to share feedback with the entire group.

How to Plan and Facilitate Successful Peer Review in Canvas

Peer review has been a staple of my pedagogy since I taught my first class as a TA at CSU Northridge in 2009. Back then, students printed their papers and brought them to class, and I ran peer review during our class session. Fast forward twelve years and now there are many different ways I run peer review and for many different purposes. Whether it’s using VoiceThread to run asynchronous peer review on larger writing assignments, asking students to give each other feedback on discussion boards, or using the synchronous time to workshop a piece of writing, peer review is woven through my classes throughout the semester. One useful tool has been the built-in Canvas peer review. 

Canvas has a wonderful guide for how to set up peer-reviewed assignments in your Canvas course, so rather than give you the “step-by-step” I want to discuss what I do and show you a few examples. 

Getting Students Started

Peer review is not something that generally works well if we just ask students to do it. For that reason, I have major scaffolding in place before the peer review assignment itself. Different processes are going to work for each individual circumstance and depending on the type of peer review that you are asking students to discuss. However, I’d still like to share my process:

Socially Annotate a Reading

This whole process takes about two to three weeks (while we continue to work on other content and activities in the course). First, I give students the open-access article, “How to Write Meaningful Peer Response Praise” by Ron DePeter, and have them annotate it using Hypothes.is . 

Think, Pair, Share

Then, we do a free-write where students can discuss their past experiences with peer review (good, bad, or both!) and participate in “Think, Pair, Share” around this topic. Depending on your class modality, this can be done as a face-to-face activity, during a synchronous Zoom session, or as an online discussion via the discussion boards or VoiceThread. 

Collaborative Guidelines

Once we discuss, as a class, these past experiences, I put students into groups to start drafting peer review guidelines. I ask them to use “positive language” where we discuss what we want to happen. For example, one of the guidelines my students came up with was “leave specific feedback with examples” rather than “don’t be vague.” I put these guidelines into the google folder where we host our drafts (but these also can be placed on a peer review page in Canvas, in an announcement linked to the peer review, or wherever you see fit!). 

Review & Practice

We then review the peer review questions that they will be using for the peer review and we discuss, as a class, if students want to add or adjust any questions. This can be adapted for an asynchronous course by having this as a discussion board or VoiceThread. It could also be done as a Hypothes.is assignment, as well! 

Once we have the questions, then we “practice” on a student example. Not only do they get to see a student’s example of the assignment, but they also get to flex their peer reviewing skills. 

Then, it’s time for the actual peer review!

Directions & “To Do” Dates

First, I want to point out that I use transparent assignment design for all of my assignments. I tell you this because it’s important to how I’ve set the students up to complete their peer reviews successfully. First, I set up the assignment itself. The example I’ll use is a Cover Letter my students need to write. The Cover Letter assignment in Canvas includes a reminder and link at the bottom to the peer review page. For the peer review page, I add a “To Do” date so it shows up in their To-Do list on their Canvas Dashboard to remind students to come back to the assignment and complete their peer reviews.

Supporting Student Success

You’ll notice I link students to the student canvas guides for peer review (under the ‘Assignments’ section). Linking the students to these resources on the assignment really cuts down on the amount of troubleshooting and frantic emails that I get when they need to complete their reviews. I also include a link back to the original assignment where they can find their peer reviews and their classmates’ work, I link them back to the reading, and remind them how to conduct peer review. In this case, I’m giving the students guiding questions to answer for their classmates. Lastly, I remind them that the rubric for the assignment includes successful completion of peer review.

Below is an example of a rubric that includes a peer review component. I kept it simple, but this can be as detailed (or not!) as you want. This example includes peer review for students to get credit for their draft:

By setting up peer review directly in Canvas, my students are able to see their peers’ work and leave feedback accordingly. Though I have students answer specific peer review questions, you can also attach a rubric to the assignment and have students fill out the rubric as part of their peer review. I suggest going over the rubric together as a class (or even collaboratively building the rubric!), so all students understand the requirements of the rubric and can leave helpful feedback.

Monitoring Participation

After students conduct peer review, you are able to see their comments to each other when you click on a student’s submission. The screenshot below shows you how a peer-reviewed assignment looks on the instructor end:

You can also view whether or not students have completed their peer reviews . 

Note: Completed peer reviews will have a checkmark next to the peer review partners’ names. Incomplete peer reviews will have an exclamation mark inside of a circle. Sometimes, Canvas will not put a check next to a completed peer review, so I always double-check the ones that aren’t complete! Lastly, if a student does not turn in an assignment, then it will not automatically assign them a peer review (i.e., None assigned). You can change these settings when you set up peer review either manually or automatically. 

Peer review on Canvas is useful for any class environment: face-to-face, blended, or fully asynchronous. I’ve run it in all three with success! 

Have you had success with peer review in your classes? What challenges or difficulties do you and/or students face? Feel free to leave comments and we can have a discussion!

How to Create a Peer Review Assignment Using FeedbackFruits in Canvas

Home » Support » How to Create a Peer Review Assignment Using FeedbackFruits in Canvas

SKIP AHEAD TO

At a Glance

The Group Member Evaluation tool in FeedbackFruits streamlines the way students assess their peers’ collaboration skills. As the instructor, you specify the criteria your students will use to evaluate their peers’ contribution to group work. Groups are automatically synced from the People tool in Canvas to FeedbackFruits.

Additionally, you can require that students add comments to the feedback they have provided to their peers, thereby combining quantitative and qualitative feedback.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to create a peer review assignment using FeedbackFruits in your Canvas course.

Create Groups

If you’d like students to provide peer feedback to some or all of their group members, first you need to create your groups in your Canvas course:

• How do I add a group set in a course?
• How do I manually create groups in a group set?
• How do I manually assign students to groups?

Create a Peer Review Assignment

• Type the assignment title in the Assignment Name field [1]. If you created your assignment as an assignment shell, this field will be populated for you, but you can change it if necessary.

• Note: If you leave this field blank, you will not be able to publish/save the assignment. You can add a voice note or an attachment to the instruction if needed.
• Individually
• Individually: Students will individually get assigned to anyone.
• Note: This option is disabled if ‘as a group’ is chosen.
• Note: This option is disabled if ‘individually’ is chosen.

• Groups selected to participate (select the Group Set you’ve already created).

• To learn how to set up criteria, refer to Setting up feedback criteria (rubrics, scale ratings and comment criteria) .

• Reviewers will not be able to view or edit their reviews after this deadline passes.
• Leave the deadline blank to allow reviewers to view and/or edit their feedback indefinitely.

• If you want students to review all their group members, we recommend selecting All .

• Reviewer anonymity: Enabling this option will make reviewers anonymous. Reviewers will still see the name of the peer they are reviewing. Instructors can also see the name of the reviewer.
• New user interface design: Students use the new design for reviewing and reading feedback. This option is enabled by default and is recommended.
• Optional – Rate Reviewers: You can choose if you’d like students to rate their reviewers or reflect on it [1].

Designing peer-review assignments.

Peer review often takes place in multiple steps, with students reviewing other students’ work and then having follow-up discussions. Sometimes faculty wish to facilitate blind review. Often faculty assign multiple reviewers to review each student’s work. You have many choices when you design peer-review procedures or assignments.

Tools & materials

Required tools and materials:

• Using Assignments for peer review
• Using Discussions for peer review

Step-by-step implementation

These instructions assume that you're using the Assignments tool to collect and disseminate peer feedback.

• In Canvas, navigate to the peer review assignment .
• To edit the assignment, click Edit Assignment . Add the assignment rubric and guiding peer review questions to the assignment.

Note: Be clear about peer review due dates, as students will see the assignment due date as the peer review due date.

• If you choose automatically, Canvas will allow you to edit the number of Reviews Per User . If you want groups of three for the assignment, the number of reviewers should be two ( two reviewers + one submitter = group of three students ).
• In class: You can conduct and guide the review process in class via zoom or as a blend of face to face and zoom.
• Asynchronous: you can schedule the peer review as an assignment.

Note: To maintain a level of objectivity and neutrality for students' responses, select Peer Reviews Appear Anonymously .

Creating Peer Review Assignments in Canvas

• Digital Tools for Teaching

Peer review assignments have two parts: the creation of the assignment, and the usage of the reviews once they’ve been done. Let’s take a look at how to create and use peer review assignments within Canvas.

Creating a Peer Review Assignment

• Enter your assignment details: Assignment title, description/instructions, points possible, etc.
• If using an online submission type, choose the types of submissions that will be accepted: text entry, file uploads, etc.
• Optional: Check the “This is a group assignment” option if you intend on doing a peer reviewed group assignment.
• Set any date options such as due date and availability dates in the Assign section.
• Click Save or Save and Publish if you are finished creating your assignment and are ready for it to go live to your students.

Using a Peer Review Assignment

Once students have begun submitting their peer review assignments, you can view the feedback that has been given.

To complete a peer review, students must review the assignment and leave a comment on the submission details page [1].

Students cannot view previously submitted comments by any other reviewers, including comments by TAs or other instructors.

You can also assign a rubric to the assignment. If the assignment includes a rubric [2], students must only complete the rubric to complete the peer review. However, you can choose to ask your students to also leave a comment in the comment sidebar. The rubric score is used for an assessment opinion only; you must review the assignment and assign the final grade.

Student Guide to Submitting a Peer Review Assignment

A helpful tip when using peer review assignments is to provide some instruction to your students on how to complete the assignment with Canvas. You can easily include a link to this handy guide created by Canvas in your assignment instructions, which will guide them through the process.

Carmen Peer Review for Instructors

CarmenCanvas gives you the option to set up peer reviews in an Assignment or Discussion. Peer review assignments enable students to provide feedback on another student's assignment submission in Carmen. They can annotate, comment and use a rubric to evaluate work submitted by their classmates. Typically, peer review happens after an assignment is due, and students will only be able to complete a peer review if they have submitted the assignment being reviewed. Peer reviews can be assigned to show student names or display anonymously.

Important cautions

• The date for automatically assigning randomized peer reviews must fall after the due date for the assignment (the default setting must be changed, if only to fifteen minutes later).
• Until the availability period for the assignment ends, both the original author and the reviewer can resubmit a file that will overwrite the original .  To prevent this, set the availability period to be the same as the due date.
• If peer review is used for Group Assignments, the random assigning of reviews does not take group membership into account (so students might be assigned to review others either in or out of their groups).   
• Manually assigned peer reviews show the assignment's due date in the student's dashboard To-Do list. However, once you assign a peer review, the due date still shows the due date of the original assignment, not the peer review. 

See Implementing Peer Review in your Course for additional information on why peer review is beneficial and how to design a successful peer review activity. 

Create peer review assignments

 See the following Canvas guides for detailed directions on creating peer review assignments: 

• How do I use peer review assignments in a course?  
• How do I create a peer review assignment?   

You can manually assign each student to review other's work or have reviews randomly distributed with a single click. This randomization process can be set up ahead of time, so it happens automatically after all assignments have been submitted. If assigning automatically, determine how many reviews each student should complete and the date and time they should be made available for review.

We recommended leaving several hours between the assignment due date/time and the assignment of peer reviews so that late submitters are not excluded from being reviewed. Neither students nor instructors will see the peer review assignments until after the due date for the assignment . 

See the following Canvas guides for more information about manual and automatically assigning peer reviews: 

• How do I manually assign peer reviews for an assignment?   
• How do I automatically assign peer reviews for an assignment?  

Create peer review discussions 

See the following Canvas guides for detailed instructions for creating a peer review discussion:  

• How do I use peer review discussions in a course?  
• How do I create a peer review discussion?  

See the Canvas guides below for detailed instructions on assigning peer reviews manually or automatically. Please note, if you're assigning automatically, determine how many reviews each student should complete and the date/time they should be made available for review. 

We recommended leaving several hours between the discussion due date/time and the assignment of peer reviews so that late submitters are not excluded from being reviewed. Neither students nor instructors will see the peer review discussions until after the due date for the discussion . 

• How do I manually assign peer reviews for a discussion?  
• How do I automatically assign peer reviews for a discussion?  

View and grade peer reviews

You can access the peer review comments by clicking Peer Review from the Assignment page . Peer review comments also display in SpeedGrader along with any other comments left on the assignment. 

Students don't automatically receive a grade for completing a peer review. If you want to award points for peer reviews, you can create a no submission assignment in the gradebook and assign points manually. 

See How do I view student peer review comments as an instructor for more information.

The Cornell Note Taking System

Why do you take notes? What do you hope to get from your notes? What are Cornell Notes and how do you use the Cornell note-taking system?

There are many ways to take notes. It’s helpful to try out different methods and determine which work best for you in different situations. Whether you are learning online or in person, the physical act of writing can help you remember better than just listening or reading. Research shows that taking notes by hand is more effective than typing on a laptop. This page and our Canvas module will teach you about different note-taking systems and styles and help you determine what will work best for your situation.

In our Cornell Note Taking System module you will:

• Examine your current note taking system
• Explore different note taking strategies (including the Cornell Notes system)
• Assess which strategies work best for you in different situations

The best way to explore your current note-taking strategies and learn about the Cornell note taking system is to go through our Canvas note taking module. The module will interactively guide you through how to use Cornell Notes –  click on the link here or the button below. This module is publicly available.

• How do I manage a Group peer review assignment?

Peer reviews can be used with group assignments.

First, make sure you have created a Group Set and associated Groups. Make sure that students are assigned to a Group

For directions on how to create Group Sets and Groups see: How Do I create Group Sets / Course Groups?

Create the Assignment with "Group Assignment" and "Peer Review" selected.

All Peer Reviews require a student to review an individual submission by another student. However, group assignment submissions are made by one group member on behalf of the entire group, and all group members will display the same submission.

If you select Manually Assigned Peer Reviews, you can assign students from one group to peer review students from a different group OR assign them to peer review students within their group.

If you select Automatically Assigned Peer Reviews the default is that members of one group will be automatically (and randomly) be assigned to peer review members of a different group

However, if you select automatically assigned peer reviews, there is an extra "Allow intra-group peer reviews" checkbox displayed. Selecting this checkbox allows assignments to be truly random and disregard student group associations.

Example of selecting "Automatically Assign Peer reviews"

Once you have saved (or saved and published) the Peer Reviewed Group Assignment, it can be managed like any non-group peer review assignment

If you selected to manually assign peer reviews, see: How do I manage a manual assigned peer review assignment?

If you selected to automatically assign peer reviews, see: How do I manage an automatically assigned peer review assignment?
