Peer Reviews

Peer reviews allow students to review another student’s form, usually anonymously.

Features:

• Up to 2 reviewers per form

• Manual or automatic reviewer assignment

• Reviewers can have separate questions

• Reviewers may or may not see the student’s or other reviewer’s answers

• Students cannot review their own forms or review the same form as both Reviewer 1 and 2

• Reviewers must be in the same Placement Group

• Reviewing can be restricted to a date/time range

Roles: Reviewer 1 and Reviewer 2 control what fields reviewers can see/edit. To make reviews blind, restrict access to any identifying fields.

Manually Assigning a Form to a Reviewer

• Preview your form to ensure only desired fields are visible to reviewers.

• Manually assign a form: In the Forms module, click Respondents, select a row, and click the “invite external” icon to assign as Reviewer 1 or 2.

• The email dialog includes fields for Reviewer 1 and Reviewer 2 addresses; the Resend button sends the email again.

• You can assign any reviewer, even someone without a Sonia account.

• Reviewers can be manually assigned at any time.

 

Steps to set up automated Peer Review

1. Design your form. 
   1. Make sure your fields have permissions correctly assigned to Reviewers 
2. On the Details page of the form, ensure the setting “Uses reviewers” is checked (1 below)

• Set “Visible to reviewer X after action:” to the action that must be completed before review (e.g., studentsubmit).

• Use different dependencies for each Reviewer role to control workflow and question visibility.

• Define the review period per Placement Group: on the Detail page under Key Events, select “Self-selected reviewers enabled” and enter the date/time range.
