I think it can be hard in a traditional class. It can be hard to have lecture and then you have to go do your homework. And if you're not seeking out your classmates or creating study groups, then you're kind of left on your own and you’re stranded. But the way that the token review process through MOOCIBL works, we were forced to engage with other students and the way that they saw the material.”Participant C saw the value of how the peer-review process helped
