ABSTRACT

This study investigates the process of development and utilization of Google Form for online peer assessment in the three essay-writing course classes in a tertiary level of education in Indonesia. Using a qualitative design, the Google Form was developed following an R&D procedure. The findings of the study showed that the successful development and piloting implementation of Google Form provides a foundation for a reliable assessment tool for writing courses. Moreover, it is useful as an interactive platform for student collaboration in peer-assessment activities. However, it is pivotal to identify issues in the early stage of development, which may occur during the implementation of peer-assessment activity to prevent technical challenges in the online teaching for writing courses. This study provides a clear and valuable idea for writing instructors who wish to create an online peer reviewing activity with Google Form and incorporate it into their teaching.
