What happens when you integrate AI-generated feedback into a peer review process in a writing course? You get PAIRR: Peer and AI Review and Reflection. On the podcast, I talk with @annamillsoer.bsky.social & Marit MacArthur about the PAIRR Project.

“Lance” is a more convincing alias if you’re with your mister, rather than mistress
