In their study of anonymity in an online
peer feedback activity, the authors found
that, under conditions of anonymity,
learners seemed more inclined to provide
reasons to back up their suggestions
(Howard, Barrett, & Frick, 2010). Getting
both suggestions and the reasons for the
suggestions would be welcome in
feedback I receive from peers or my
instructors. Seeing the reasons would
help me know that the suggestions have
been thought through (even if I don't
always agree with them).
