Abstract
Traditional teacher-led grading often fails to capture the complexity of student teamwork. It also results in feedback that arrives too late to help learners improve. This session presents a practical way to combine instructor, peer, and self-evaluation during group projects and oral presentations. By using everyday cloud tools, teachers can create a clear system for managing feedback. The demonstration focuses on Google Workspace. Participants will see how to use Google Forms for data collection and Google Sheets for calculating scores with math formulas. These methods ensure that grades are consistent and reflect the work done by each person in a group. Using Google Drive allows for the organized sharing of resources. These digital rubrics help students provide better feedback to classmates and reflect on their own performance.
Drawing from results in university settings, the speakers show how to analyze collected data to track student progress. They explain how to use this information to see where groups succeed or need support. This method offers a low-cost, flexible solution for providing high-quality critiques in online and hybrid settings. It is a useful strategy for increasing student involvement in grading, which is often overlooked in tech-based teaching. Attendees will leave with practical ideas to make their assessment routines more efficient and fair. This approach helps instructors manage feedback while maintaining high standards for student work and accountability.
