Group projects that work

Uneven contribution, unclear expectations, and last-minute peer evals are common friction points in group projects.

GroupWorks gives instructors a structured workflow for group formation, shared agreements, and peer evaluation — and gives students a clearer path through the work. One place for the whole group project lifecycle.

What GroupWorks does

One connected path from group setup to final evaluation

Onboarding, intelligent group formation, co-signed agreements, and peer evaluation all share the same course context.

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Course onboarding

    Students share availability, strengths, working style, and goals. Instructors choose the constraints that matter.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Intelligent group formation

    GroupWorks proposes balanced groups from onboarding responses and course rules. Instructors review, adjust, and publish.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Group agreement

    Groups define communication norms, roles, internal deadlines, and escalation rules. Everyone signs the same agreement.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    Assignments

    Instructors create assignments with peer eval windows. Students submit their peer evaluations when the window opens.

  5. 5

    Step 5

    Peer evaluation

    Students evaluate group members using a built-in rubric. Instructors see per-student scores to inform fair grading.

  6. 6

    Step 6

    Grade export

    Export peer evaluation results for your gradebook. Canvas integration and CSV grade export are on the roadmap.

The problem

Group projects are not the problem. Unmanaged group work is.

The learning goal is strong: students should practice coordination, communication, and shared ownership. The failure point is the missing operating system around the project.

Free riding is hard to see early

Students often wait until the deadline, or the final peer evaluation, to say contribution was uneven. By then the group has already absorbed the cost.

Instructors lack reliable signals

A final peer eval can be useful, but it is not enough on its own. Instructors need context: onboarding, group expectations, deadlines, work history, and feedback.

The workflow is fragmented

Group formation, agreements, task tracking, reminders, submissions, and peer evaluation often live in separate tools. A unified workflow reduces administrative overhead and makes expectations clearer for everyone.

For students

Do good group work.
Have a record of it.

Students get clearer expectations, shared deadlines, and a fairer way to show contribution. The goal is not to punish groups; it is to make good collaboration easier to practice.

Share your group-work experience

Groups that fit

Match on schedules, working style, and goals — not whoever sat next to you.

Agreements signed by all group members

Set norms for deadlines, rewrites, and conflict on day one. Reference them when things drift.

Visible contribution

Surveys, agreements, and peer eval results create a clearer record of how each student engaged with the project.

Fair peer evals

Feedback is tied to concrete project activity, not just memory from the final week.

Intelligent group formation

Use onboarding responses and instructor constraints to create balanced groups. Review and override before publishing.

Group health at a glance

See missing agreements, unsigned group members, and peer-eval progress before the final week.

Defensible grading

Peer evaluation is grounded in project history, group agreements, and contribution evidence.

Hours back per week

Onboarding, group formation, agreements, deadlines, project work, and evals all live in one place.

For instructors

Run group projects with the same structure as the rest of your course.

One workflow replaces scattered forms, ad hoc check-ins, and end-of-term guesswork. You stay in control while students get a clearer path through the work.
