How do I set up peer reviews for an assignment to happen within a group?

[ClarisavdM5]

Could someone please help with this conundrum? 

I want members of the same group to peer review each other's work. Each member of the group should be able to see the assignment submissions of the other members of the same group and choose who they would like to review. How do I set that up?

Much appreciated!

Hi @ClarisavdM5,

I don't think this is going to be possible to automate in Canvas.  In Canvas, groupwork is generally considered to be a collaborative work where the group collectively has one submission. You could certainly set groups up for students to collaborate, but you'd then need to just set up a regular assignment (not a group one), and manually assign peer reviews for each student to be those of the others in their group.  If you have a small class this might be doable without too much effort, but if you're looking at 50+ students it seems like it would be quite time consuming.

Hope this helps a bit, even though it might not be what you wanted to hear.
