What's Your "Hack"?
A Presentation on Teaching and the Review Process
When the review process takes place inside and outside of the classroom, it oftentimes occurs within written and/or textual media where instructors and peers provide annotated and synthesized feedback on student writing.

Though written and/or textual media have become a bit of a default to host the review process, instructors have also explored other media and other approaches in which to hold and deliver the review process, such as screen capture and oral feedback.

In nearly every classroom scenario, though, it appears as if it is always the instructor who unilaterally determines the medium and mode in which the review process takes place between instructor and student as well as among peers during peer review.

My "hack" ultimately emerges from the following question: Considering the fact that the review process is generally designed to benefit students by facilitating learning and improving student writing, why don't students have more of a say about the media and modalities that are used to evaluate their writing?

It proposes to offer students unique and personalized opportunities to tailor instructors' as well as peers' approaches to their writing in media and modalitiies that serve their specific rhetorical, affective, and learning demands.

This approach to the review process in many ways disrupts instructors' and peers' passive and uncritical adherence to written and/or textual media to provide feedback on student writing.

This approach also radically redefines the review process, situating instructors and peers as both composers and readers within media and modalities that are not of their choosing, therefore asking them to be increasingly sensitive to one another's specific rhetorical, affective, and learning demands.
