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.
