PlayPosit Peer Review

Peer Review in D2L

I. Getting Started

Before using groups in PlayPosit Peer Review ensure that:

  • You have created and each learner has launched at least one PlayPosit bulb within your D2L Course (this is a necessary step in order for the learners to be available for PlayPosit groups)
  • You have created group sets and groups in PlayPosit
  • Each learner in your D2L course belongs to a group within the group set
  • If you need a bulb for learners to take quickly, copy this bulb and assign it to your D2L course.

II. Create PlayPosit Groups

  • Click Classes and select the class to which you’re assigning the Peer Review Activity.
