Peer-reviewed digital tests give students the opportunity to read and review each other's submitted work. Peer review has multiple benefits, such as:
- By allowing students to review each other, they will be presented with a diversity of opinions and different point of views.
- It encourages self-reflection which in turn fosters critical thinking skills.
- Peer review encourages students to engage with each other. As a result, they learn the strengths and weaknesses of their own submitted work after reviewing the work of other students.
To create a peer-reviewed digital test, follow the steps below.
- Click the domain School name in the menu on the left.
- Click label_important Courses in the menu at the top.
- Select your course or use the search bar.
- Click on New assignment and fill in the name of the test. If you use assignment templates, click the dropdown menu No template and select your template.

You can now start adding exercises to your peer-reviewed digital test in the same way as you would for a digital test. If you want to create an assignment from within a question bank, you can select the option 'Digital test' when copying the question bank assignment to your course. Once the digital test is copied to your course, you have the option to change the Grading method. This is explained below.

Grading method
- Peer review
If you have created a peer-reviewed digital test, Peer review is the default setting. If you change the grading method at the dropdown from Peer review, the assignment type will no longer be a 'Peer-reviewed digital test'. - Self review
If you select Self review from the dropdown menu, the grading method is changed to self reviewed and the assignment type will be updated to a 'Self-reviewed digital test'. Participants will then be required to review their own assignment instead of having it reviewed by their peers. There are no additional settings for this selection. - Review
If you select Review from the dropdown menu, the 'Peer-reviewed digital test' is updated to a standard 'Digital test'.
The dropdown menu is only visible when no participant has started the assignment. After this, it's not possible to adjust the review options anymore.
Options for reviewing
- Number of reviews
With this setting, you can determine how many reviews the participant can do. After they are finished with their own assignment, they will see the option to start reviewing. Based on the number confirmed in this setting, the platform will indicate how many peer reviews are required. The participants will also see additional slots for optional peer reviews. - Grade anonymously
If this option is enabled, participant's names are not visible during grading. The option is enabled by default.
The period in which participants can review
A timeslot needs to be set for participants to start their peer reviews. The availability of the peer review of the assignment is set for all participants. Click the dropdown menu New timeslot and fill in the date, start time and end time of your assignment and click on Save.
Furthermore, peer review has two types of indications:
- Reliability
Indicates to what extent the different gradings are similar to this result. - Consensus
Indicates to what extent the grading given by this participant corresponds with the grading of other participants.
