How can students better understand and improve the quality of their own work by reviewing work done by their peers?  In this session, we’ll hear from three faculty members from different disciplines whose students participate in some form of peer review. We’ll find out how these faculty guide their students through this process, and what they (and their students) learned.

– Students in John Pell’s Library 100 course use Flow, ProQuest‘s cloud-based collaboration and document management tool, to share and review annotated bibliographies.

– Students in Joy Jacobson’s graduate-level writing course in the School of Nursing use the Peermark tool in Turnitin to give each other feedback on blog posts.

– Student teachers in Christine Rosalia’s class record conferences in which they review their own students’ writing. They then use VoiceThread to provide each other feedback on the interactions in these conferences.
