Peer review tools

Student peer review involves students sharing their work with their peers for constructive feedback. This process, which involves students receiving feedback on their own work and providing feedback on other students’ work, can play a valuable role in tertiary education to promote student learning and increase satisfaction with the volume and quality of feedback.[1]
