Collaborative assessment with rubrics

Collaborative assessment is when multiple evaluators assess the same item. For example, a faculty member may invite a department to assess his/her course, or a student may invite his/her classes and teachers to assess his/her ePortfolio.

Any member can attach a rubric to a document, a website, or any object, and invite others to engage in a collaborative assessment. Our collaborative assessment comes with a live report of results and graded rubrics.
