This journal article by Sheffield Hallam academics looks at the implementation of online peer feedback programme for two cohorts of students. Students provided peer feedback for each other using discussion boards, in order to give them more opportunities to improve their work before final marking. The research was evaluated using focus groups from the two cohorts. The article discusses the implications of the research around use of online discussion as well as more general use of peer feedback with students.
