There are a variety of online tools available in the market which allow diverse types of self/peer-review and self/peer-assessments.

Self and Peer assessment tools for students’ written work

PeerMark

Supported by Deakin University. Please refer to the guides here.

As part of Turnitin, the interface and functionalities are similar to GradeMark, but allows student to student feedback based on the assessment criteria created by academics.

Please contact your faculty CloudDeakin support team if you wish to use this tool.

There is a compulsory calibration part that students need to do (with 3 given samples of written work – high/middle/low quality) before they get to do the real work as assignment to review their peers’ work.
