Medical education was tremendously affected following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the lockdown restriction, the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) sessions were migrated to the online platform. However, it is difficult to monitor the participation of medical students in online PBL as compared to physical PBL sessions. An example of the uncertainties was students did not turn on the camera and they were being silent. Therefore, the Group Peer Assessment was implemented to monitor the participation of medical students in online PBL as we believed students can give better feedback to their peers when they work together in groups.
