Multi-topic:

Multiple Topics allows students to cover a wider range of content by doing the same activity with varying instructions. Each student is assigned one topic to make a creation for. You can view your assigned topic in the Create submission box. Detailed instructions and descriptions for your topic will be provided in the Activity Details section.

Stage 2: Evaluate

You will be assigned a few peer creations to evaluate. Similarly, your Creation will also be evaluated by a few of your peers.

NOTE: Evaluations are done anonymously. You will not see who you are evaluating, and your peer will not know who evaluated them.

  • You'll be evaluating your peers in two ways:

    • Score your peers based on a rubric given in the activity

    • Give a written evaluation.

How to submit an evaluation:
