The peer feedback provision process involved online and faceto-face written peer feedback on weblogs, enhanced with a six-hour training phase for peer feedback.Weekly student journals, group feedback conferences, the end-of-the-semester survey, and the pre- andpost-writing tests were used in the data collection.
