Students that fell into this group were physically and cognitively lazy, not contributing to the process as required. This phenomenon was referenced in several other research studies within the paper. I suggest another group be added to the mix besides the loafers— students that cannot provide feedback due to the lack of necessary skills, whether it be education background or language.

jbdecker on 06 Oct 14I can see where this could be a major problem in a large open course with peer grading in anonymity. I don't see the social loafing problem to be one that I would deal with in a online class with 20-30 students using a LMS like Moodle or Canvas where expectations have been set up, models have been provided and scaffolding of skills has been completed prior to a peer evaluation.

It can also be very effective in small, closed online classes where students are at similar skill level and receive instruction and guidance in how to grade within the process.

It seems like the kind of skill that should be addressed in college.

They were required to submit their self-assessments with the completed work, but their assessments were not graded.

Requiring students to self-assess and submit it with their work makes so much sense. We work on creating rubrics so that the students know the criteria that they are trying to meet with their performance why wouldn't you require the students to self assess against this same rubric. To be honest though this is something that I have rarely done. I have reminded students to reference the rubric provided but I haven't let them know early on that they would be required to submit a self-assessment using the rubric. This is something that I am eager to try with my students in the near future.

that is well crafted to include focused self reflection questions)

I like this idea. Have each student provide evidence for the work they have completed in their group. Providing this self evaluation at the front end of a group project may spur more participation if each student knows they will be responsible for providing answers to these questions to the instructor.
