Students working in teams need to learn appropriate ways to offer feedback to their peers. This is not something they naturally learn just by doing group work. It is easier understood when they have an evaluation form to fill out and when the professor models how to give feedback. Here are other tips:

Peer Evaluation and Peer Review

Teaching Students to Give Peer Feedback

Encourage students to give constructive feedback

Engaging Asynchronous Online Students Using Peer Review, Peer Evaluation, and Peer Teaching

Using and evaluating teams in PBL Engineering classes

This is a casual conversation with an open discussion of any and all things digital pedagogy. Looking forward to checking in with everyone.

Friday, March 15th, from 1-2PM
