PeerMark
PeerMark is a peer review assignment tool which is available through Turnitin. To use this, instructors must first set up a Turnitin assignment. Students must submit their papers to a Turnitin assignment before peer reviewing can begin.
What can I do with PeerMark?
Instructors can create and manage PeerMark assignments that allow students to read, review and evaluate one or more papers submitted by their coursemates. Advanced options enable instructors to:
-
- choose whether the reviews are anonymous or attributed
- decide if students should be excluded from reviews
- pair students to assign students specific papers to review
Key features of PeerMark
