Yes, peer assessment/review is a powerful way of promoting deeper engagement with the topic and for encouraging students to reflect on their own performance. I also think it’s an approach we could be using more with novice teachers as part of PGCE programmes as it can be a valuable experience for lecturers to be put in the position of giving and receiving constructive feedback in this way, and gaining an insight into how the students might feel about it.
If anyone is doing this, either using WebPA or any other TEL approach, I’d be very interested to hear about it.
