Title: Trusting Students to Teach Each Other:  Using Peer Review for a Term Long Group Project
Presenter: Amy Munger
Date: Thursday, October 17 • 2:20pm - 3:20pm

Learn how an OSU Instructor and Instructional Designer staged a term-long group project that includes multiple phases of peer review. Using Canvas and Peerceptiv, students work collaboratively to create a group presentation on a controversial health topic. Rather than relying exclusively on lectures, students learn from each other by peer reviewing the work of other groups at various stages, going through extensive, student-facing rubrics. The staging of the assignments allows them to practice the steps in smaller increments and integrate feedback before their final presentation. It also encourages them to think critically about sources and research.
