Most efforts around online open-ended activities have focused on: how do we grade students? I think the emphasis is misplaced. *Developing* a skill is different from *assessing* a skill. Students need help *developing* the complex reasoning skills these activities tend to employ.

One interesting design challenge in this project was to facilitate peer learning without any student ever having to wait. We used model work to cover delays in initial submission, revision and social browsing to cover delays in receiving replies from peers.

Section 3 looks a lot like pull requests and code review. (In a good way!)

Yay! Excited to hear any thoughts you might have.
I tried open-ended activity sometime ago while teaching some React, and the result was astounding. This shows the individual difficulties of each one, and make it easier to provide personalized advices and resources to equalize overall results. 👏👏
