Peer Feedback Training Through Mobile Technology

College & University Education
Sat, Nov 21, 12:50-13:15 JST

Peer feedback is a popular method for involving students in the formative assessment process, yet students often struggle to provide adequate feedback for their partner(s). One reason for this is that generating feedback is a skill requiring training and practice to improve. This workshop will demonstrate how the web-based application Pear Deck can be used to train students to generate productive feedback for their partner(s) and improve the pedagogical benefit of the activity.
