Group Readiness Assurance Testing
gRATify is an open-source web application for administering group Readiness Assurance Tests (gRATs) in Team-Based Learning (TBL).
The application was written by faculty for faculty.
Where gRATify fits in the TBL process
In classic TBL, students prepare before class, take a short individual quiz (iRAT), then retake the same quiz as a team (gRAT). The gRAT is where teams discuss, teach each other, resolve disagreements, and correct misconceptions.
- Teams submit one answer at a time and get immediate correct/incorrect feedback.
- Teams can retry until correct (with declining credit if you choose that scoring style).
- Instructors can watch progress in real time using progress bars.
- Teams can enter "appeals" of questions where they think their answer was better.
- Instructor feedback is supported by showing the percentage of teams selecting each answer as their first guess.
Pro Tip: Use the "Export in Aiken Format" feature to download your gRATs before the site resets!
Note: This is a hobby. I'm running the demo on a $6 per month server. It's just powerful enough for you to open the application, poke around and see what it does. It might support a few groups doing gRATs. It's not going to be able to run an entire class.
