PeerMark is a powerful peer-review tool by Turnitin that transforms the often chaotic process of classroom peer editing into a structured, digital workflow. Instead of dealing with lost papers or superficial “looks good!” comments, teachers use PeerMark to assign student papers automatically, guide reviews with custom prompts, and hold students accountable for the feedback they give. 🗺️ The Three-Step Workflow
A PeerMark activity is structured across three distinct phases built on top of a standard Turnitin writing assignment:
Submission: Students upload their initial drafts to a standard Turnitin assignment repository.
Review: Once the submission deadline passes, PeerMark automatically or manually distributes the drafts to peer reviewers based on your criteria. Students read their peers’ essays and complete the required review questions.
Revision: After the peer review deadline, students receive their feedback and use those insights to revise their drafts before submitting a final version to you for grading. 🛠️ Key Settings for Teachers
When setting up PeerMark through your LMS (like Canvas, Moodle, or D2L) or the Turnitin website, you have complete control over the environment: Writing a peer review as an instructor – Turnitin Guides
