Offering students the option to engage in peer evaluation—whether during team-based work, group projects, or individual assignments—can promote critical thinking and reflection, especially when the feedback is structured to be constructive and purposeful.

This working group will help faculty integrate meaningful peer feedback into a specific upcoming course—whether as part of team activities, group projects, or individual assignments—enhancing student engagement, critical thinking, and reflective learning.

Faculty will focus on a Fall 2025 course, and will design activities in Feedback Fruits, a learning technology currently being piloted at Boston College.

About the Working Group

This summer, join other faculty committed to enhancing student learning through peer feedback. Together, you’ll design activities for your course, supported every step of the way by experts in learning and technology.

Participants will collaborate through regular virtual working sessions and personalized 1:1 consultations. The program will conclude with the chance to have your project showcased for colleagues.

You’ll also receive an $800 stipend as a thank-you for your time.

This Working Group is a great opportunity to experiment with fresh teaching practices, connect with peers, and re-energize your course design. Let’s build something impactful together!
