Activity objectives

Promote continuous improvement of skills by enabling students to evaluate and receive constructive feedback on their work.

Peer assessment on ChallengeMe enables students to submit their work for peer assessment, using criteria defined by the teacher.

This approach guarantees fair and constructive feedback, develops critical thinking and promotes a better understanding of expectations. The results are then presented to encourage reflection on their performance.

Developing critical and reflective skills

By assessing the work of their peers, students improve their ability to analyze, criticize constructively and understand criteria. This process reinforces their learning by helping them to reflect on their own work with an outside eye.

Time-saving and educational enrichment

Peer assessment frees up teachers' time while providing rich feedback to students. It engages students, helping them to better understand quality criteria and identify diverse viewpoints as well as gaps in understanding.

This step can be carried out individually or in a group

The teacher can also take part in this stage

3. Results display

Students discover the evaluations and feedback they have received, according to the display options they have defined.

Use the different valuation methods

Choose the evaluation method that suits you best.

You can use a "simple" activity or add additional deposit or evaluation phases.

Why not use our AI assistant to guide students in their feedback. The assistant can give them elements to improve their feedback and make it more constructive.

"It allows them to take a step back from their own work, to go deeper into the concepts of the course and see different methods for solving an exercise. It also gives them a better understanding of what's expected in an assignment and the objectives of the course".

Answers to your questions

How can I be sure that the assessments are fair and objective?

ChallengeMe offers clear and precise evaluation criteria that you can customize. What's more, the anonymity of assessments and the possibility of having several assessors per job help ensure fairness.

We also recommend preparing the students, explaining the objectives, and even co-constructing the criterion grid with them, taking examples from previous work.

Absolutely, group work is possible, both in the response phase (submitting a file as a group, for example) and in the evaluation phase (students must agree on feedback and evaluations).

We have a wide range of content available. On the platform, students are guided through the activity with tips for giving relevant feedback. We also provide teachers with documents they can use to present the activity to students.

The choice is yours! You can set up a formative system only (no grades, only feedback), or build a grade with weighting on criteria, bonuses/maluses according to certain events (lateness, for example), or even weight the peer assessment grade with the teacher's grade.

We work with over 90 schools in France, Switzerland, Belgium and Quebec. On our website, you'll find feedback from other schools on our activities.
