The journey you have just shared about is what I have just begun with the students this term. I like your idea of developing some success criteria with the students. I have been using SOLO taxonomy as a structure to guide the students on what makes a quality comment. We have also talked about “sowing and reaping” in that if you want comments on your ePortfolio, you need to sow into others ePortfolios by leaving quality comments :+)

In my experience in using success criteria (in ‘roughly’ the Shirley Clarke sense), the greatest learning advantages appeared to come as we;

used the early feedback rounds to refine the s/c

and, at the end of the process, when looked back at how our s/c had changed and discussed what that told us about our learning/growth.

Nice article! Are you aware of the work of Edujam in the UK https://www.edujam.org/ The have developed tools for working with Primary school children. But, ignoring the tool, there is a lot of very useful information about collaboration and peer assessment.
