Typically the focus is on giving learners feedback on their learning progress, either from an educator’s point of view or between the learners via peer feedback. This paper focuses on gaining feedback from learners. We discuss methods and good practices for encouraging learners...

Recent research aims to automatically predict whether peer feedback is of high quality, e.g. suggests solutions to identified problems. While prior studies have focused on peer review of papers, similar issues arise when reviewing diagrams and other artifacts. In addition, previous studies have not carefully examined how the level of prediction granularity impacts both accuracy and educational ...
