Peergade Introduces Feedback Rubrics to Help Teach Feedback

Peergade, CopenhagenLearning NewsOEB Exhibition

Peergrade recently released their guide to Feedback Rubrics, a way to scaffold the feedback process for students. With feedback rubrics, students are empowered to evaluate and reflect on their peers work while providing feedback.

 

Peergrade is a platform that allows for fast and anonymous feedback, the company is also on a mission to make feedback an integral part of the learning experience.

With the release of their guide to Feedback Rubrics, they are helping teachers develop a scaffolding method to help their students learn to give feedback. The Feedback Rubrics guide was developed to prove that rubrics can be a useful means of feedback for students using existing rubrics used by teachers.

The guide goes through the different styles of rubrics, their purposes and how to create a rubric based on subject and goal of the assignment.

Peergrade also uses feedback reactions, a way for students to respond to the feedback they have received. WIth feedback reactions students are learning how to reflect and respond to the feedback they are given.

Feedback Rubrics, a concept developed by Peergrade, are an important part of the feedback process on Peergrade. These rubrics differ from the more common matrix rubric because it incorporates three different types of questions. Question types include yes or no, scale questions and text response. Teachers can choose their own combination of questions when creating the Feedback Rubric. Using all three questions allows students to review the work against assignment expectations while also being able to give effective and personalized feedback.

Learn more about scaffolding the feedback process from Peergrade CEO David Kofoed Wind at OEB. He will be presenting about Feedback Rubrics on Thursday, December 7th from 12.00-13.00 in the Chess Room. Peergrade will also be exhibiting in the Startup Hall.

About Peergrade

Peergrade was developed at the Technical University of Denmark in 2015. It was born from the idea of letting students partake in the evaluation process as a way to provide them with more feedback and a possibility for extended learning. Other teachers immediately realized the potential of the idea and joined in. Today, there are teachers in over 100 countries using Peergrade from 4th grade to Ph.D students.
