Buddycheck is a Canvas integrated tool for peer evaluation of group work contribution. It can be used to enable students to evaluate their own and their peer's contribution to group work. An adjustment factor is generated which can be used to update the mark awarded to each student individually.  

Informal ‘check in’ evaluations can also be set up that do not use scored questions. Two default questions are available on Team Conflict and Team Satisfaction, and it is possible to add open questions. This means that early on in a group project this information can be used to stage-appropriate interventions where they may be issues within groups.  

A Canvas Quiz can be used for system marked and short written answer questions. The recommended quiz tool is New Quizzes. 

Canvas quizzes should not be used for long written answer or essay exams, primarily because they do not allow students to use version control, and consequently carry a risk of students accidentally overwriting their work and being unable to restore it.  For written assessments a Canvas or Turnitin Assignment should be used, and it should be noted that these assessment tools do not have a function to set a time limit. 

There is further guidance on using quizzes available on the quiz guidance webpage. This includes the recommended settings for quizzes used in summative assessment. 

Information and guidance on the range of options is available on the Peer Assessment webpage.

Peer review in Canvas can be set up for any Canvas Assignment type, and for Discussions.  You can require students to give written peer feedback, and attach a rubric if you would like them to give a mark.  Choose whether peer reviewers and reviewees can see one another’s names, or whether they are anonymous. 

Turnitin also supports peer review with the PeerMark assignment type.
