Abstract
There is a need to provide quality education without discrimination or prejudice to all
students. However, there are challenges in implementing quality education in large
classes, especially during remote learning. Literature indicates that providing lecturer
feedback can become a tedious task, especially in large classes. Literature states that
involving students in the peer review process can improve the quality of their
submissions. This research used a case study and thematic analysis. Qualitative data
were collected from 179 third-year Information Systems students who used the
Opensource Sakai Platform. Students reviewed another student’s report, without
knowing their identity. The research used self-determination theory as a theoretical
basis. The achievement of perceived autonomy is supported as an anonymous peer
review helped students to empower themselves. Perceived competence was also
achieved as the anonymous peer review improved the quality of work submitted and the
development of workplace skills.
