Assess better.
Comproved is an assessment tool for education that relies on the power of comparison to promote students’ active learning.
This is what Comproved users say
"The biggest advantage of comparative judgment? I think there are several big advantages. To sum up: comparative judgment is fair, natural and efficient."
"In the Construction programme, we assessed the personal brand of students using the tool. That was a success. Other subjects are now also interested. The reliability is particularly appealing. Teachers are getting more and more complaints, so they have to be self-confident. The use of the comparison tool helps in this respect."
"Students found it difficult that they sometimes received conflicting feedback. But you can also learn from that. There is a reason why opinions differ and those opinions help to revisit your text on specific aspects. This way, students learn to deal with that uncertainty. I think that's one of the biggest advantages of Comproved."
"This takes some getting used to. It looks like Tinder for improvement work, but Comproved is really great!"
"The main reason to work with Comproved? Less revision work!"
"The ranking based on the peer assessment did justice to the actual quality of the papers. The students did a good job of sensing which paper was of better quality and which was not."
"Students gain more insight into quality of work. As a teacher, you can say that the structure of a text is not right, but that often remains too abstract for students. If they then see in Comproved with a concrete example what the structure should look like, it makes it easier for them to apply that themselves in their own work."
"How do you rate the quality of an interactive installation for a theatre festival? Assessments with rubrics are not appropriate here. Holistic assessment with the comparison tool offers a solution."
Comproved is a spin-off of five years scientific research into comparative judgement with:
