A Solution to the Challenge Instructors Face

Kritik.ai helps faculty manage large-class assessment loads by facilitating robust peer assessment in which students evaluate each other’s work, promoting deeper learning while dramatically reducing instructor grading time.

Meet Kritik.io

Kritik.ai is an AI-powered peer assessment platform that automates the workflow of assigning, calibrating and managing peer reviews while tracking progress, engagement and feedback quality.

In the Classroom

An instructor teaching undergraduate history assigns a source-analysis essay, for example. Using Kritik, students submit their work, and the platform distributes each essay to several peers for evaluation with instructor-defined rubrics. The AI then calibrates grading power, summarizes feedback trends and reveals peer-to-peer learning growth.

Why It’s Useful

This AI saves instructors significant grading time while engaging students in actionable, multi-source feedback loops. It improves student critical thinking and communication while maintaining grading integrity, even in large and diverse classes.

What to Watch Out For

There is potential for peer bias or uneven feedback quality. Although AI calibration helps, educators must actively monitor and adjust rubrics/participation to prevent collusion or disengagement.
