An option that works for some contexts is to include, at various points during a course peer-assessment or small-group conferences to comment on one another’s portfolios. If the classroom community is relatively closely knit and supportive and student are willing to expose themselves by revealing their portfolios, valuable feedback can be achieved from peer reviews. Such sessions should have clear objectives lest they erode into aimless chatter checklists and question may serve to preclude such an eventuality.
