Launch several intra-group assessment phases within the same project to put students in a progression logic: even if they have received poor assessments in the first iteration, they will be motivated to change for the second.

The main aim is to improve students' teamwork skills through an iterative process of evaluation and feedback, giving them the opportunity to improve throughout the project.
Continuous improvement - Students have many opportunities to improve during the course of the project, encouraging progressive learning.
Developing interpersonal skills - Students improve their communication, collaboration and leadership skills.
Reflection and self-assessment - The process encourages students to reflect on their behavior and assess themselves regularly.
Increased motivation - The opportunity to improve with each iteration motivates students to change their behavior.
Preparation for the professional world - This approach simulates performance evaluations in a professional environment.
Conflict management - Students learn to manage conflict and work effectively with different personalities.

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.
This iterative approach enables students to gradually develop their teamwork skills in a safe, structured environment. It effectively prepares them for the collaborative work challenges they will encounter in their future professional careers.
1. Set clear expectations - Explain in detail the evaluation criteria and what constitutes good teamwork right from the start of the project.
2. Provide constructive feedback - Teach students how to give specific, constructive feedback that focuses on behaviors rather than personalities.
3. Encourage reflection - After each iteration, ask students to reflect on their performance and set goals for improvement.
4. Facilitate group discussions - Organize sessions where groups can openly discuss their dynamics and ways of improving.
5. Value progress - Focus on improvement rather than absolute performance to encourage continuous effort.
6. Use self-assessment tools - Incorporate self-assessments into each iteration to develop students' self-awareness.
7. Provide resources - Offer resources on teamwork skills, effective communication and conflict resolution.
8. Adapt the evaluation - Adjust the evaluation criteria if necessary to reflect the specific challenges faced by the groups.
"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".

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.
