Although having a class Web page is not necessary to use the Peer Review tool, it can be a useful starting point to direct students to tools like this. The URLs of the Peer Review tool can be long and complicated to transmit and retype. By creating a Web site with a link to the Peer Review assignment, you can ensure that your students can more easily find it. Allow enough time to create and post materials. Initial setup and planning of the Peer Review tool can be time consuming.
Maintenance can also be time-consuming depending on how the information is posted to the Web.
Plan time for orientation to Peer Review interface. The custom, Web-based discussion interface is unlike email. Consider user access to technology. Because it is Web-based, this resource requires students to have access to the Web to use it. This requires you to keep in mind the restrictions of Web development when creating your questionnaire.
