Group Collaboration Feedback

Evaluate Group Member Collaboration

Empower student reflection and peer evaluation in collaborative projects with

Collaboration Feedback Google Add-on

 


This Google Sheets™ add-on helps students reflect on their groupwork, evaluate their peers’ collaboration, and generate thoughtful, structured feedback—all from within a spreadsheet. Built on Peter Liljedahl’s collaboration rubric and grounded in the IB MYP Design framework, this tool streamlines the entire reflection process into one clear, easy-to-use interface.

🔧 What It Does

  • Interactive Likert-scale collaboration rubric
  • Auto-calculates a total score from checkboxes
  • Groups feedback into four key dimensions:
    • Respect & Inclusion
    • Team Participation
    • Communication
    • Team Impact
  • Generates personalized comment paragraphs with tone-matched phrasing
  • Appends a closing comment based on score band
  • Exports feedback as a polished PDF
  • Emails results directly to peers and teachers

🎓 Why It Matters

Collaboration is a skill. Reflection makes it visible.

This add-on supports student growth in:

  • ATL (Approaches to Learning) skills in IB programs
  • Visible Thinking Routines
  • Peer feedback and formative assessment
  • 21st-century competencies like communication, empathy, initiative, and leadership

Students reflect not just on what they accomplished, but how they worked with others and contributed to the group dynamic.
