Or register for the workshop here. See you soon! 
During our discussion, our facilitator @SandyCook provided valuable insights into how to create effective peer evaluation activities by designing and using rubrics.
Below you can find some insights shared by our participants about their experiences in using rubrics for peer evaluation activities 
When discussing the expectations for peer engagement, participants highlighted various expectations, including offering constructive criticism, motivating peers, ensuring accountability, and maintaining fairness. They shared that effectiveness of meeting the goals for peer engagement is defined not only by student participation but also satisfaction. Some of the attendees mentioned that they incorporate specific mechanisms to identify non-contributing students to proactively address any issues. Also, participants noted the importance of reflecting on the process and making changes as needed to keep the alignment with the purpose of the activity.
During the session, we we also discussed the types of rubrics used by the attendees in their own classrooms. Holistic rubrics are commonly used for ease of application, either as formative, summative or a blend of both. However some participants mentioned using analytic rubrics since they are more objective, with specific criteria defined by the instructor.
What are your expectations from peer evaluation activities? What type of rubrics do you prefer?
Feel free to share your experiences and insights in this thread!
