This product update focuses on results views. Instructor views of results have been updated to be more dense, helpful for large courses. This update also includes a new student released view provides key insights to students from their peers' ratings of them.
Releasing this report is entirely optional but doing so helps build accountability within teams and this study found consistent peer feedback where results are shared back to students improves grades. Individual questions can also be set to not be releasable and by default, written text responses are withheld from release. Released results are always anonymized and scale-based results are aggregated so that students see theye received an average score of say 4 out of 5 rather than seeing they received a 3, a 4, and a 5 to help protect student anonymity.
We split these two views since they serve different purposes:
- Instructors need to see results with max density for browsing many students at once.
- Students only ever view their own performance report, so we filled this view out with context and insights. This report emphasizes gaps between self-evaluation scores and scores received from teammates.
Instructors can view the student released performance view any time with the preview button at the top of each student's results page so you can see exactly what your students will view when you do release results.
