PeerMark is a peer review assignment tool within Turnitin which allows students to read, review, and evaluate papers submitted by their classmates. Incorporating assessment into the learning process itself has many pedagogical benefits and uses. Reviewing the work of their peers can broaden students’ understanding and enhance analytical critique. Students could even review a sample essay in order enhance their learning. Peer mark may also reduce anxiety around assessments.
The TEL Unit are offering a workshop around PeerMark on the 10th January from 10:00 – 12:15 in EE1022 . If you are interested in utilising this feature within your own learning and teaching, please book on to the workshop via the ‘Staff Development Workshops’ page.
