Eli Review provides teachers with rich dashboards providing comprehensive information on student progress and problems at the individual, team, and class levels. Further, it helps instructors scale peer learning for large numbers of students. "If a teacher has 200 or 300 students in a class, it is difficult providing constructive feedback for each student. But with Eli Review, all students can provide constructive feedback to each other, enabling a positive learning environment," concludes Jeff Grabill, co-creator of Eli Review. Eli Review is pedagogy, not just a technology!At the core of this simple and innovative pedagogical process lies a series of five steps:Step 1: Assign Learners a Task - Create tasks to help guide learners through projects and focus their attention on specific learning goals.Step 2: Guide and Provide Feedback - Create reviews, checklists, and prompts in any combination to match learning goals.Step 3: Debrief and Process Feedback - View peer feedback in real-time, helping learners make good decisions on how to revise. Step 4: Plan Revisions - Plan revisions to prompt students to reflect on feedback, making their thoughts visible for themselves and for instructors.Step 5: Analyze and Iterate - See improvement in students' learning, in the feedback they give and receive, and in plans they make for revising their writing and their understanding of course concepts. Today, instructors use Eli Review in a diverse range of disciplines, including 3rd grade ELA, 7th grade Spanish, 9th grade Social Studies, First-Year Composition, Computer Science, Biology, Physics, Law School, and graduate-level pharmacology. About 40,000 students use Eli Review daily, enabling rich peer learning environments in more than a hundred institutions. Eli Review continues adding schools and students every semester. Finally, Eli Review is gradually establishing an international footprint as well. As digital learning tools continue gaining prominence, Eli Review is set to leverage the opportunity and further establish their position as a pioneering technology in peer learning. "The values of visibility and scalability we provide with our platform position teachers well to augment their students' abilities. This, in turn, positions us as a must-have edtech platform in classrooms," concludes Grabill.
