In group work, beyond the final production, it's important to ensure that the group dynamic is healthy and that everyone contributes according to their means.
But it's difficult for the teacher to have an overview of what's going on internally in each group. How can we detect groups in difficulty quickly, so that we can help them?
"ChallengeMe allows teachers to free themselves from the cumbersome logistics of peer assessment".

At several milestones in a group project, students evaluate the work produced by their group, as well as the contribution and behavior of each member, including themselves. This provides an opportunity to take regular stock of task allocation, communication, motivation, sticking points, etc.
The teacher has access to a summary of these "self-assessments", giving him a map of the groups. This enables him to identify those who need help, and to adjust the way things are done, or refocus certain students.

Anything goes! Some teachers opt for bonus/malus systems, others prefer weighting, or award a mark composed of 50% group mark and 50% individual activity. This varies according to the objectives pursued.
