Co-Evaluation Mode

Co-Evaluation Mode enables multiple evaluators to collaboratively complete a single rubric evaluation, where each evaluator selects and scores the criteria they wish to assess. It is designed to support flexible, distributed evaluation by multiple raters.

Key Concepts

  • A single rubric is evaluated collectively by multiple evaluators.
  • Each evaluator selects and completes any criteria they are qualified to assess.
  • The rubric is shared in real-time, with saved entries visible to others depending on settings.
  • Co-Evaluation can be conducted synchronously or asynchronously.

Workflow

  1. Evaluators access the shared rubric and evaluate different criteria.
  2. For each criterion, evaluators enter a score and optional feedback (text and/or rich-media).
  3. As evaluators save their entries, their input updates the cumulative rubric.
  4. Once all criteria are completed, any evaluator can save the rubric as the final evaluation.

Visibility and Anonymity

  • All evaluators can view the full rubric at all times.
  • Evaluator input (scores and feedback) becomes visible to others upon saving a criterion.

Feedback Support

  • Evaluators can provide:
    • Feedback for each individual criterion.
    • Overall feedback for the entire rubric.
  • Feedback may include plain text or rich-media (e.g., images, video, audio).

Finalization

  • The rubric is considered near-complete when all criteria have been evaluated.
  • Any evaluator can trigger the final save, saving the completed evaluation.

Reporting and Audit

  • All evaluator inputs are tracked with timestamps.
  • Finalized evaluations include a record of who completed each criterion.
  • Anonymity settings are respected in all reports and displays.

FAQ

Q: Do evaluators have to wait for others to finish?

  • A: No. Co-Evaluation can be performed either synchronously or asynchronously. Evaluators may work at the same time or at different times. Saved inputs become visible based on system refresh or user actions.

Q: Can two evaluators score the same criterion?

  • A: No. Once a criterion is scored and saved by one evaluator, it becomes locked to others.

Q: Can evaluators change their own input after saving?

  • A: Yes, evaluators can revise their own input until the rubric is finalized. After finalization, editability depends on the system’s configuration.

Q: What if a criterion is left blank?

  • A: The rubric cannot be finalized until all criteria are scored. Incomplete rubrics remain in draft mode.

Q: Who can finalize the rubric?

  • A: Any evaluator can finalize the rubric once all rows are completed. Finalization compiles all scores and feedback into a single evaluation record.

Q: Can evaluators see each other’s feedback and scores?

  • A: Yes, once a criterion is saved, its input becomes visible to other evaluators. The visibility of evaluator names depends on anonymity settings.

Q: What does anonymity control?

  • A: Anonymity settings determine whether evaluator names are shown to each other. When enabled, evaluators remain anonymous to each other but are still identifiable to facilitators.

Q: Do evaluators see the full rubric?

  • A: Yes. All evaluators always see the full rubric layout, including criteria, descriptions, and scoring options.

Q: Who creates the rubric?

  • A: Rubrics are typically created by institutional leads, program coordinators, or designated assessment designers—not by the evaluators themselves.

Q: Can the rubric be used without student submissions?

  • A: Yes. Co-Evaluation Mode supports evaluations linked to topics, documents, or matrix cells, and does not require a student artifact.

Q: Can evaluators provide feedback?

  • A: Yes. Feedback can be entered per criterion as well as overall. Plain text and rich-media (e.g., audio, images, video) are supported.

Q: Are timestamps and attribution tracked?

  • A: Yes. The system records who entered what, and when, including timestamps for transparency and reporting.

Q: What happens after finalization?

  • A: The finalized rubric is stored as a completed evaluation. Depending on configuration, it may become read-only or remain editable under specific conditions.

Q: Can Co-Evaluation be used for accreditation or compliance reporting?

  • A: Yes. Co-Evaluation Mode is suitable for internal assessments, program reviews, accreditation evidence collection, and more.

Q: Can facilitators override evaluator input?

  • A: If configured, facilitators may unlock, override, or reassign specific criteria before or after finalization.
