Best Practices for Peer Assessment
A list of best practice considerations for adopting a tool for peer assessment in the classroom.
PeerMark is a comprehensive peer review tool that is part of the Turnitin suite. It is best used for producing rich students' feedback. Unlike other Turnitin products, PeerMark is not integrated into ICON.
Key Features
- Flexible and simple interface
- Plagiarism Detection (a.k.a Originality check) as an option
- Anonymity as an option
- Reviewers can directly annotate in the document using text, color highlighting and visual marking tools.
To use PeerMark, instructors will need to setup an account on the external Turnitin site. Contact the ITS Help Desk to acquire the institutional code for instructor Turnitin accounts.
