How can I use Canvas Peer Review in teaching?

• Canvas Peer Review allows students to review others' assignments.
• Instructors can compare students before and after review submissions.
• Providing your students with a rubric can help them give a thorough review. The rubric score is not factored into the student's grade; it is only there for feedback.
• Share this article with your students so they know where to look for feedback.

What is unique about Canvas Assignments?

• Reviews can be assigned randomly or manually.
• Reviews can be anonymous.
• Graded Discussions can also be peer reviewed but these are not anonymous.
• When a review is assigned, it will appear as an item on their to-do list for the course.
