Different Approaches to Peer Learning and Feedback
How can students learn to support one another and give well-founded feedback? Three teaching projects show how peer learning, peer review and self-reflection foster independent learning and critical judgement, and where AI can help.
Presenters
Practice, Connect, Care: Peer-to-Peer Medical Learning for a New Generation
In the Skills Lab, trained peer coaches guide fellow students in a practice-oriented setting and give them immediate feedback. The contribution shows how the peer coaches are trained, what insights were gained along the way and how peer coaching has improved the learning climate.

Promoting Learning through Peer and Self-Evaluation
In this seminar, students present research papers, evaluate their peers’ presentations and reflect on their own work. The contribution shows how peer and self-evaluation were introduced without changing the seminar format, what was learned about student engagement and reflection, and how the setting creates a relaxed atmosphere in which students support each other. It also covers more recent experiences from the seminar, where AI now helps to support the students’ work.

AI-Enhanced Project-Based Learning in Large Cohort Courses: Embedded Systems and Beyond
In the Embedded Systems course, students work on hands-on projects supported by an AI assistant, by tutors and instructors, and by their peers. The contribution shows how the AI assistant accompanies students during their projects, how it complements feedback from instructors, tutors and peers, and what was learned from using it in a large cohort.
Presented by: Prof. Dr. Michele Magno – D-ITET
As always in our Refresh Teaching events, you will have the opportunity to ask the presenters questions and participate in the discussion.
