Here is the website for an article by Simon Bates and Ross Galloway about using the PeerWise tool with Physics students - they highlight the importance of helping the students learn how to create the MCQs before asking them to do it. They have had some very good outcomes and the students have generated some excellent questions.

Has anyone used phase 3 as a time for teams to create MCQ? This is a higher order thinking skill and a form of application of the content, but is it something that would be successful produced as a 'team assignment'? Would individuals work to accomplish the task?
