In Canvas it is possible to set \u2018Assignments\u2019 to enable students to mark and review each other&#8217;s work. In addition, the \u2018Discussion\u2019 tool can be used to enable peer assessment. As with quizzes, peer reviewed assessments can be scheduled to open and lock at certain times and can be assigned to multiple groups, allowing for reasonable adjustments or to organise students by seminar or workshop groups. These peer reviewed assignments are quick to set up and the many different settings allow you to tailor the assessment to your module.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2018\/02\/Peer-assessment.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6686\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2018\/02\/Peer-assessment.png\" alt=\"Peer assessment in Canvas\" width=\"962\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2018\/02\/Peer-assessment.png 962w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2018\/02\/Peer-assessment-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2018\/02\/Peer-assessment-768x426.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2018\/02\/Peer-assessment-100x56.png 100w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2018\/02\/Peer-assessment-150x83.png 150w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2018\/02\/Peer-assessment-200x111.png 200w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2018\/02\/Peer-assessment-450x250.png 450w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2018\/02\/Peer-assessment-600x333.png 600w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2018\/02\/Peer-assessment-900x500.png 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 962px) 100vw, 962px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Notable features:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Anonymous submissions and reviews\/marking<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tutor-created rubrics to guide student marking<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Automatically or manually assign peer reviewers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Multiple submission formats allowed &#8211; any file type, website URL, paper submission, no submission (e.g. presentations)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tutor has final say over students\u2019 marks<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are many ways in which peer assessment can be used within teaching, both for summative and formative assessment. One idea would be to ask students to submit a draft or shorter essay midway through the term and ask them to mark each other\u2019s work against the module\u2019s assessment criteria. This would enable students to get to grips with the criteria prior to their assessment, provide them with useful feedback to take forward into their final assessment and would give them valuable writing practice. Alternatively you could ask students to mark each other\u2019s presentations during face-to-face teaching sessions. In this case, providing students with a rubric would help to guide their marking and would standardise the type of feedback that students receive. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you would like to learn more about the peer assessment features in Canvas see the following FAQs:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/community.canvaslms.com\/docs\/DOC-10256-4152719640\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How do I use peer review assignments in a course?<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/community.canvaslms.com\/docs\/DOC-10094-415254249\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How do I create a peer review assignment?<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We have a dedicated Canvas section on the TEL website (<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/canvas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">www.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/canvas<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">) and you can subscribe to this blog or follow us on Twitter (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SussexTEL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">@SussexTEL<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">) to receive all our Canvas news and information, including training for all Sussex staff.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[note: this post has been updated to reflect a terminology change on the Sussex Canvas VLE, to align it to Sussex terminology] Continuing our Canvas highlights series, this week we are looking at peer assessment.
