The Collaboration feature lets students engage with each other’s thinking by viewing and/or commenting on peer responses. This feature is off by default and can be turned on in the activity settings.
How Collaboration Works
Students will always view peer responses anonymously — the video or whiteboard they’re viewing is labeled with an anonymous name (e.g., “Ginger Gazelle”).
Students must first complete their own response before they can view or comment on others’ work.
Students cannot see their peers’ AI feedback.
Note: if "Top Responses" is turned on, students will see if the response earned a Strong or an Excellent
When leaving comments, the student’s real name will display next to their comment, helping maintain accountability.
💡 Tip: You can decide whether students can only view responses or view and comment on them.
Teacher Controls
Teachers can turn on or off Collaboration in the Settings of any activity.
You can choose if students will be able to view all responses or only on top exemplars surfaced by Snorkl.
Teachers can delete student comments if needed.
Students cannot delete their own comments.
Student Experience
Once collaboration is enabled, students see a list of their classmates’ (anonymized) responses after submitting their own.
If commenting is enabled by the teacher, students can leave feedback using:
Text comments
Screenshot comments
Video comments
Comments appear in the feedback panel, just like teacher feedback.
