In this video, Dr Andy Bates shares how he uses Buddycheck to prompt students to feedback and reflect upon contribution towards groupwork tasks by themselves and their peers, to make assessment fairer, increase engagement, and develop teamwork skills.

Buddycheck is a peer evaluation tool used to help students to feedback and reflect upon the contribution of themselves and their peers towards groupwork tasks. This can be used to make assessment of groupwork fairer through increased accountability and peer-moderation of grades. It can also be used formatively as a prompt for reflection and source of feedback leading to development of teamwork skills.

This video will provide a demonstration of the use of Buddycheck in the context of a Canvas module, and would be helpful for anyone who is contemplating assessing any output from a piece of groupwork.
