Description

An online module called "Argumentative Essay Writing" (AEW) delivered in Brightspace over two weeks, designed to improve students' essay writing skills through peer feedback. It uses the FeedbackFruits app embedded in Brightspace, whose peer feedback feature "empowers teachers to design tasks that enable students to offer feedback to their peers". In phase one students wrote essays individually; in phase two students were randomly invited to provide written asynchronous feedback on peers' essays.
