Group Member Evaluation using ITP Metrics Peer Feedback tool
Do some groups in your classes struggle to work well together? Have you ever wondered how you can gather reliable and growth-oriented peer feedback from group members? Are you curious about tools that can help set your course up for optimal teamwork and high-quality, educational projects?
Join us for this informative and interactive workshop as a member of the ITPmetrics team helps you learn how you can use ITPmetrics.com to optimize your teams and support student development through self-awareness and improved team dynamics.
During this session, we will demonstrate how the ITP Metrics Peer Feedback tool, along with its evidence-based suite of assessments, can help support effectiveness during a team’s lifespan (e.g., from team launch to performance and feedback cycles to final outcomes) and provide opportunities to check-in on group dynamics and functioning during critical points for typical student learning teams. In addition to gaining a foundational understanding of what the tools are and how they can support your students, you will also have the opportunity for an interactive walk-through of the platform. You will leave the session with the hands-on skills to start utilizing ITPmetrics.com for your teams!
ITPmetrics.com is a publicly available and free state-of-the-art teamwork assessment platform that was founded in 2011 by Dr. Thomas O’Neill to help individuals and teams reach their full potential.
A meeting link will be sent to registrants the day before the workshop.

In this workshop, participants will:- discuss engagement tools and when to use a student response system (SRS)

- write effective questions in Mentimeter
- consider equity and disability in the use of an SRS
Exercises will use Mentimeter.
