Strategy Description

This strategy uses Canvas's built-in random group assignment tool paired with FeedbackFruits' Teammate Evaluation to create a near-fully automated group work pipeline in online graduate courses. By eliminating manual group formation and connecting peer evaluations directly to the gradebook, instructors can implement accountable, structured group work with minimal administrative effort.
