•The present form of the Critburger as an online breakout session was developed in Spring 2020 as a response to the need to create virtual peer-to-peer student-driven discussion and engagement in a studio-based courses when classes moved online in response to COVID protocols.   The CritBurger was added to a range of multimodal activities including visual, auditory, reading and writing and kinesthetic (VARK) activities and replaced the traditional pin-up sessions.

•As a type of reflection, small groups of students, usually four to five, present their current design drawing exercises to each other in breakout groups online to discuss and assess each other’s work. 

•In the online breakout groups students present their work to their peers for discussion using the targeted prompts. Then each student  selects one other student’s work in the group and uses the Critburger template to document their own comments on that student’s work and submits their comments online using the Critburger Template for grading.
