Learners improve their work by reviewing each other’s work using a rubric and constructive feedback modeled by the instructor. As an extension, students reflect on what they learned about their work while reviewing the work of their peers.
Co-Curricular (experiences outside of the formal classroom but contribute to student learning) Please contact us at activelearning@uga.edu with an example to include!
Universal Design of Active Learning
Universal Design for Active Learning UDL and active learning share a common goal: centering all students in the learning experience. When designing an activity, UDL‑informed instructors consider how the activity could be open to all students while preserving the core learning goal.
Physical Considerations If handwriting is not required, allow digital submission of peer feedback.
Timing & Pacing Allow generous time — reading, evaluating, and articulating feedback requires significant processing.
Social Interaction Allow written rather than face-to-face verbal feedback to reduce social pressure. Consider anonymous review where appropriate. Provide clear rubrics and examples of constructive feedback.
Information Accessibility Provide rubric and examples of strong feedback in writing for reference throughout the review.
Ways to Participate/Express Allow feedback in writing, typed, digitally, or through a structured feedback form.
