Group Member Evaluation

Make group work assessment fair, transparent, and scalable

Without clear criteria, group evaluations become subjective, free-riding can go unnoticed, and group grades can feel unfair. As cohorts grow, manually collecting and making sense of individual contributions becomes harder. Group Member Evaluation gives every student a structured way to assess their peers and reflect on their own contribution, with criteria, rubrics, and automated insights built to make group assessment fairer at scale.

Everything you need to make
group evaluation work

With Group Member Evaluation you can

Enable flexible collaboration

Run evaluations within a single team or across multiple teams, with rosters synced automatically from your LMS so there’s no manual setup required.

Build custom criteria and rubrics

Create evaluation criteria using rubrics, rating scales, yes/no questions, or open comments. Combine different question types to measure exactly what matters for your assignment.

Configure grading to fit each activity

Choose whether an evaluation is formative or summative, and control exactly how much each step contributes to the final grade.

Choose anonymous or attributed reviews

Decide whether evaluations are anonymous or attributed, depending on whether you want to encourage candid feedback or accountability.

Catch outliers automatically

Identify gaps between self-assessment and peer assessment to help surface free-riding, overlooked effort, or other patterns that need attention.

Use Feedback Coach

Give students real-time prompts while they write, helping them turn vague comments into specific, actionable feedback.

 Make group work a learning experience,
not just a grade

Icon

For students

Learn to be accountable to
a team

Students get a structured opportunity to reflect on their own contribution and understand how their work affects others. Evaluating peers helps them develop self-awareness, communication, and the ability to give constructive feedback.
Icon

For instructors

See what really happens inside
the group

Group grades can hide big differences in contribution. Individual evaluations give instructors a clearer picture of how students are participating, where support is needed, and when a group dynamic may be affecting learning.
Icon

For institutions

Build collaboration into the curriculum

Make teamwork and accountability assessable parts of the learning experience. A consistent approach to group evaluation helps programmes develop the collaboration and feedback skills students need beyond the classroom.

Frequently asked questions

How does Group Member Evaluation prevent unfair grading in group work?

Customizable rubrics, scales, and qualitative criteria give students a structured framework, while two automated grading methods, Group Contribution Factor and Group Skill Factor, remove manual guesswork for instructors. Learn more here

Can students evaluate their own contribution as well as their peers?

Yes. Instructors can toggle self-assessment on, so students rate themselves against the same criteria they use for teammates. Learn more here

How does outlier detection work in Group Member Evaluation?

Outlier detection becomes available once self-assessment is enabled and each student reviews at least four peers. Once enabled, outlier detection flags patterns like self-promoter or overconfidence by comparing a student's self assessment against how peers rated them and how they rated others. Two more patterns, underconfident and tension, cover students who rate themselves too critically and teams whose ratings disagree sharply. Learn more here

Do groups need to be set up manually for Group Member Evaluation?

No. Groups sync directly from the LMS so setup takes seconds. You can also create more balanced and customized groups by using our Group Formation tool that also syncs directly into your Group Member Evaluation activity. Learn more here

Can students respond to and rate the feedback they receive in Group Member Evaluation?

Yes. A Feedback-on-Feedback option lets students rate the usefulness of the feedback they received on a 1 to 10 scale. Learn more here
