Abstract
This paper reviews studies of peer feedback from the novel perspective of the providers
of that feedback. The possible learning benefits of providing peer feedback in online learning
have not been extensively studied. The goal of this study was therefore to explore the process
of providing online peer feedback as a learning activity for the provider. We concluded that
(1) providing online peer feedback has several potential learning benefits for the provider; (2)
when providing online peer feedback, students use different cognitive processes; (3) the
cognitive processes and the potential learning benefits can be realised when students use
specific elements in the feedback they provide.
