Overview From Blackboard:
A common learning tool in classrooms is providing feedback to other Students on their work. Students prepare an essay, lab report, or presentation and share it with the class. Other Students are asked to comment on the work and offer criticisms for improvement. This process helps the Student improve their Assignment, but is even more valuable to the Students that review the work. Reviewing the work of another Student enforces classroom learning and helps the reviewer practice important communication skills and critical thinking.
The Discussion Board is the perfect place in a Course for peer review. Each Student may start a thread and include their work in the initial post. Other Students then review the work, assign a rating to the initial post, and include comments in a response. As users respond, the feedback expands as users reinforce and build on points made by other Students.
Users can respond to a post using a 5-star rating system. To enable this feature, select Allow members to rate posts when creating the Forum.
Open a thread and view the posts. Each post has an Overall Rating field with five stars. The stars show the overall rating that the post has received from users. Click on the Rate this Post drop down list and select a rating from 0 to 5 stars. The rating is now included in the Overall Rating and the individual rating appears in the Rate this Post field. A user may not rate the same post more than once..
