Hi Jen,

I have been using Teammates for peer feedback, https://teammatesv4.appspot.com/ for some time.  It allows you to set up teams, who sees what, and whether it is anonymous or not.  You can then have individualized links sent to students to access their colleagues' feedback.  Servers are not in the US/Canada, if that is a concern for you.

Regarding the non-functioning team, I agree that formative evaluation would be helpful.  Also, calling on other team members for reporting out and representing team decisions and rationale may help.

Subject: Questions from a novice

Hi everyone,

I'm a new TBL adopter. So far things feel like they're going well, but I'm hoping for guidance on a couple matters.


1.      PEER FEEDBACK: How can I collect & distribute peer feedback effectively & efficiently? Our LMS is Blackboard, and we don't seem to have a function that allows students to anonymously give each other feedback on their 'helping behavior' (or does it?). Students who hand write feedback could be identified by their teammates. I could collect it via. email, but that seems labour intensive for me. I've promised anonymity this time, but might revisit later. Any ideas or insights?


2.      AN INEFFECTIVE GROUP: I understand peer feedback might help matters. Baring a shift, one of my groups is not working. One member is super strong. Two are ok. Three are weaker. The strong member does all talking, writing, representing for his group. He tries to ask other members' opinions, but mostly they choose to add nothing, and he moves things forward. Any suggestions to change this dynamic without becoming overbearing?

Thanks for considering responding to these questions. Looking forward to lots more engagement on the listserv.

Best,

Jen
