Peer review is an important resources for learning. When we applying meaningful and constructive feedback, received from supportive reviewers we can both deepen comprehension of course concepts, and use that feedback to revise and improve our work.
Note- Peer Reviews can only be engaged within the Assignment to be reviewed. This tool enables course credit for students when Peer Reviews are completed in the Assignment. Canvas does not structure credit for reviewers within the assignment reviewed, so credit can be recorded here.
Assign Peer Review in Canvas:
Go to the Assignment to be reviewed. Make sure Peer Review : Require Peer Review is selected in settings for that assignment and Peer Reviews are set-up, as desired.
Activate Credit Option for Peer Review:
Edit this Peer Review Assignment as desired. Select an option in the "Display Grade as" dropdown menu. Adjust the assignment credit value, as desired. Make sure Submission type : No Submission is selected for this Assignment, if students will complete the Peer Review structured within the designated Canvas Assignment.
Monitor/Assign Credit for Complete Peer Reviews:
Go to the Reviewed Assignment. Select Peer Reviews to see who has completed their assigned reviews. Open the Speed Grader for this Peer Review Assignment a new window. Record credit in Speed Grader, for students who have completed their assigned Peer Reviews.
Note- Make sure students understand the Peer Review expectations and how to complete them, or check Peer Reviews that appear Incomplete. If you request both comments and the assignment rubric, for example, Canvas will not show the Peer Review as Complete if the rubric has not completed correctly. If reviewers put "rubric ratings" in their text comments, you will only know by opening and checking the review that appears to be Incomplete.
