Peer Review for Large Groups

[gdehond1]

Hi, I'm looking for the best option for conducting peer review of submitted assignments that facilitates groups of 3 or larger all being able to see each other's comments.  To my knowledge, a writer can see all comments from their peers, but peers cannot see each other's comments.  I'd very much like to have peers also interact with each other.

I do have a Turnitin add-on, but it seems they have the same limitation.  I also suppose I can have students collaborate via Google Docs, but I'd rather not have my students create a Google account if they don't have to.

I suppose a third option is using Discussions, but that involves public documents or complex groups.

 @gdehond1 ‌, I use discussions for peer reviews that allow students to see each other's notes. Could you explain what you see as the limitation of "public documents or complex groups"? I'm not sure I understand what you see as the problem with using groups. I have students set up in groups of 4. Students have to post an initial product for peer review by a certain date, and then the other students have until another date to review, in the discussion, each other's products using a rubric (or a simple one warm and one cool comment system). They only review the people in their own group.

I'm asking because I'm always looking for a better way to do peer review!
