Discussion Redesign and Peer Reviews

[crafte]

We recently enabled the Discussion Redesign feature prior to the summer term start. I noticed that the option to enable peer reviews is not available. The guides to enabled peer reviews are not listed in the instructor guides but they are still listed in the student guides (How do I submit a peer review to a discussion in Discussion Redesign?). Was this feature previously enabled and later removed? I have search the community but I have been unable to find additional information.

@crafte It appears that the instructor guide for original discussions also covers the way to set up peer reviews in the Discussions Redesign, because the notes at the top state, "Peer reviews can only be created with graded discussions and do not have an anonymous option." Anonymous posts are a Redesign feature.

How do I create a peer review discussion?

Hi @stimme I did not remember to check the graded box. I see the peer review option now. I was adding discussion redesign guide links to our information page and was looking for the peer review guides. Thank you for the information. 😊

I was just popping in to ask if the discussion was graded. I did a quick test at a school where the updates have been imposed at the root, and one where the old interface is still running with the update as an option, and it behaved the same way in both places--nothing until you select the Graded option. 

This is a relief. I was concerned that this was one more change that we were going to have to get in front of for our summer term!
