As a practice, peer review offers great rewards. Engaging in peer review can help learners become better writers, as well as better editors of their own work; furthermore, peer review encourages collaboration and engages students in meaningful, authentic tasks. However, in the implementation of peer review in the classroom, instructors can face myriad challenges from the pedagogical to the practical.

In this webinar, participants will learn to successfully integrate peer review into courses of all disciplines. More specifically, participants will learn about (1) how to scaffold peer review assignments, (2) how to model successful peer review practices, (3) how to create more meaningful opportunities for peer review in their classroom, (4) how to increase engagement and facilitate student “buy-in,” (5) how to support multilingual students throughout the peer review process, and (6) options for conducting peer review utilizing Canvas tools.

Providing feedback on writing assignments is one of the most effective ways to guide learners through the process of brainstorming, drafting, and revision. However, prioritizing what to comment on when reading student work can be a challenging task, particularly deciding when to focus on holistic needs rather than sentence-level errors.

In this webinar, participants will learn to consider how their feedback practices could be oriented towards the “global” rather than the “local.” More specifically, participants will learn (1) how to distinguish between sentence-level errors and global revision needs, (2) how to encourage learner uptake of global feedback, (3) how to provide global feedback to specifically to multilingual writers, and (4) how to incorporate revision expectations into course rubrics.
