Description

During the Fall 2020 semester, students were surveyed about their learning experiences. Among the results was a desire for more significant engagement in their course, with their instructors, and among students. One way of increasing engagement is for instructors to create opportunities for students to engage with one another on course-related content. Peer editing is one strategy to increase student-student engagement.

Peer editing asks student pairs or small groups to review each other's writing assignments (essays, reports, arguments, etc.) Peer editing provides students with low-stakes feedback before submitting more polished drafts to the instructor, and it also helps students develop evaluation skills.

In instruction, peer editing can be facilitated through the peer review feature in Canvas assignments.
