# Introduction to Eli Review at SFSU

## Getting an Overview of How Eli Works

Eli Review is used across many disciplines on our campus:  Our Teaching & Learning Community consists of faculty from Biology, Chemistry, Communication Studies, English, Ethnic Studies, Geography, Environmental Studies, Public Health, Psychology, Sociology, Theater Arts, Visual Design, World Literature..

Over 3400 students engaged in peer learning with Eli Review in the Academic year, 2019-2020. These students can access this powerful peer review platform at no cost since SF State has purchased an institutional license.

Eli Review has been helping faculty across the disciplines on our campus create a robust peer learning experience.

#### Free Peer Learning Workshops for Instructors

Seeing the app work helps instructors imagine how Eli can fit in their own syllabus. That’s where our free online professional development workshops start.

Participants share a syllabus blurb or talking points for explaining *why* peer feedback is valuable. Then, they experience *how* it works.

Participants give feedback to colleagues from around the country, get feedback, and use feedback to plan a revision. Director of Professional Development Melissa Graham Meeks, PhD, also provides feedback on revision plans.

Participants get to be students Monday-Thursday and then get instructor access to the course on Friday.

The workshop is about 20 minutes per day, and the deadlines are 11:45 PM Eastern. There are no synchronous meetings.
