Peer feedback released results with Feedback Loop
Peer feedback is an important tool for instructors to identify individual performance within a group project or any other teamwork scenario. Peer feedback can also be a useful career prep experience. Peer feedback released results is a common tool in the workplace and bringing it to the classroom provides a deeper learning experience and improved accountability within student teams.
How to release results
Feedback Loop’s results release feature generates a tailored performance report for every student included in the survey. To release results, the survey must first be closed and then a release results button will appear. Click it and students get access to their performance report.
Individual questions can be set to private (results visible to instructors only) so that instructors can curate these released results. This article details how to set individual questions to releasable, or not, in the survey template editor. Any questions set to private will not be released to students, even if the release results button is clicked for the survey.
How do students access their results
Once the results are released, students have three ways to access their report:
- Students receive an email notification with a direct link to their results report
- The Feedback Loop button in the LMS gives students a list of all surveys that have results available (in addition to any surveys they need to complete)
- Clicking the assignment link in the LMS, when the survey is completed and results are released, shows students that survey (coming soon)
What’s included in the released performance report
Students see the overall average score they gave themselves (self), gave their peers (given) and received from their peers (received). Below is a partial screenshot. The full reports list all questions and indicate alignment between the student’s peer and self scores to identify hidden skills, potential weakness and well-aligned characteristics where self awareness matches peer rating. Providing peer feedback released results gives students a performance report, highlights areas for improvements and creates a transparent assurance of learning opportunity. We highly recommend it!
