Peer Feedback Project
This academic year MAPS will be piloting an improved Peer Feedback tool which uses generative AI to help scaffold the experience for students. Peer Feedback is a powerful pedagogical practice with benefits for both the giver and receiver of feedback and is well suited to large cohorts. If you'd like to learn more or join the pilot please contact the Faculty Learning Technology Lead, Dr Richard Osborne (r.osborne@ucl.ac.uk)
