Reviews
Despite my poor scores for CATME, I have not found anything better.
I use CATME for team building and the automated collection and aggregation of peer assessment data from those teams. It seems like each or both of those could be implemented as undergraduate research projects/capstones in CS and we could just have scripts for use internally and not need to worry about licensing CATME anymore? But there may be more complex functionality others are using I am not familiar with.
I rely on this tool to collect information about team formation and team performance. I've not encountered a better software for completing these tasks.
The class list file is always a challenge. Once you have your class uploaded, it is easy to use.
I have used CATME for three semesters for a high stakes team project in a class of 70+ students. CATME requires some preparation to use effectively. However, I have found that the upfront investment pays off in the form of more satisfying, less frustrating teamwork experiences for students. A few students have told me that the teams created by CATME were the best of their careers.
