What is Team Feedback?

Team Feedback is a web application designed to support student group based project work. Originally developed to support the Software Engineering Group Project at King's College London, the software is now capable of support a range of different types of student group projects and group supervision of individual projects. Team Feedback has a range of features that can be switched on or off, depending on your module's requirements. The main features are:

  • Facilities to support team formation and dissemination of allocated teams. Team Feedback can be used to help students form their own teams or to allocate students to teams.
  • Administration of peer feedback/assessment exercises at the end of a group project. The peer assessments can employ custom questionnaires. Peer feedback is returned to reviewees anonymously. It is possible to include a response phase to the peer assessment exercise.
  • Managing the scheduling, attendance monitoring and minuting of group meetings. Team Feedback uses Office 365 integration to record scheduled meetings in calendars of group members. It can produce student engagement statistics to support identification of vulnerable students and/or assess the veracity of concerns raised in peer assessments.
  • Tracking activity on a group's GitHub or KCL GitHub repository or multiple repositories, with a view to assess code contributions. Team Feedback can attribute commits to the correct team members in cases where GitHub fails to do so, based on known alternative email addresses. Team Feedback can also attribute commits to multiple team members working in pairs or larger sub-teams.
  • Tracking activity on a group's Trello board, with a view to assess a team's planning activity, project velocity and progress.
  • Marking support, in particular dissemination of marks and feedback to teams and individual team members. Team Feedback can also produce basic charts of marks, for assessment auditing and diversity & inclusion purposes.

The set of features available to you in any module will depend on the ones that the module organiser has chosen to activate for that module.
