The objective of this workshop is to enhance your ability to use peer-feedback activities in classes with many students. We focus on how you can integrate peer feedback in your teaching using Peergrade, and we discuss the choices you have to make as a teacher.  During the workshop, you will become familiar with the digital platform Peergrade.
