Why use Buddycheck?

Many courses require students to collaborate in groups. Group work prepares students for the workplace. It’s more motivating than just lectures and it allows students to learn from their peers.

However, instructors need to know how a student collaborated and contributed to assess or grade each student. Peer evaluations or peer assessments are often used to solve this, but existing tools have flaws: lack of integration, privacy concerns or a poor user experience. Buddycheck is our answer to this problem.

What makes Buddycheck unique?

• Seamless integration using LTI & API. This integration is used to get student and group data and to update grades using an adjustment factor.
• A user friendly interface built as an integration, so students might not even realize that the functionality is from a different web application. On every step, the user can find information in the interface itself.
• Proven evaluation method: The evaluation method is based on extensive academic research. The method and the questions are used in practice for many years.
• Open questions, likert scale, point-based question. Its all in there, making Buddycheck a flexible solution. It allows schools to set up sensible defaults and optionally enables instructors to create their own questions.
• No strings attached: Data is owned by the client and/or the student and is not shared with any third party.
• Easy export: Export all (raw) results to CSV or PDF format with a click on a button.
