Canvas Peer Review Tool
Canvas has a peer review tool that is built into the system. Faculty can manually or automatically assign students as peer reviewers, and student peer reviews can appear anonymous to other students. If an instructor adds a Canvas rubric to the assignment, the peer reviewers can use the rubric when giving feedback. The student peer reviews do not impact the Canvas grade; the instructor of the course must put in the grade on the assignment.
To set up an assignment using the Peer Review tool, reference these help articles:

Canvas Discussions
Canvas Discussions can be a great tool for peer feedback if you are wanting back-and-forth dialogue between students and for reviewers to see each other's comments. Ask students to post their assignment to the discussion forum and comment other students' assignments.

Canvas Studio
For feedback on video presentations, music performances, digital storytelling projects, and other multimedia projects, Canvas Studio can be used. Students comments are time-stamped in the video, so feedback can be very targeted when using Studio.
To use Studio for peer review, first create a discussion (
