Principles for Peer Review and Perspectives on EdTech with Kelli Rushek and Will Chesher

In this episode, we chat with Dr. Will Chesher (Howe facilitator) and Dr. Kelli Rushek about their work in a cross-disciplinary Faculty Learning Community exploring peer review—also known as peer response, peer feedback, or reader response. They share insights from their research into the practice of peer review and reflect on their experiences testing out two different edtech platforms designed to support it. Tune in for practical takeaways on how to make peer feedback more meaningful in the classroom (and for an outstanding Montel Jordan impression from Kelli)!
