Eliminate free-riding and grading headaches in group work

Assessing group work fairly can be one of the most challenging parts of teaching. Instructors need visibility into individual contributions, students want their efforts recognized, and manually reviewing peer evaluations takes valuable time. Without a structured process, free-riding often goes unnoticed, feedback lacks consistency, and group grades can feel unfair.

‍Group Member Evaluation helps educators assess individual contributions with confidence by automating peer assessment, guiding students with clear evaluation criteria, and supporting fair, transparent grading at any scale.

Configure grading options

Turn the activities into either summative or formative assessment tasks by deciding which steps are graded and how much weight they carry for the final grade. Also, easily detect outliers with the built in analytics.

Enable anonymous feedback

Full control over anonymity enables teachers to either hide reviewers behind fruity pseudonyms or create open peer assessments to encourage discussion and comparison depending on the assignment task and context. Reviewer ratings gives students more responsibility and accountability.
Visual image

Detect outliers

This feature helps instructors quickly identify exceptionally positive situations as well as possible concerns in teamwork assignments. The outliers are indicated based on the difference between how students rated themselves and how their peers rated them.
