How can kritik help?

Enabling an engaging learning experience for all students.

Fun & Engaging Learning

Kritik enables students to learn in a fun and engaging way, whether it be the gamified grading power system, or the use of star rubrics.

Gamified Learning

With our gamified 6-star rating system, students are motivated to increase their star rating by completing more evaluations.

Learning by Evaluating

By evaluating their peers, students interact with the course content in multiple ways, increasing  their overall content retention

Anonymous Peer Review

Anonymous assessment puts students at ease, with less fear of bias they are able to freely communicate.

"Kritik provided a way for me to feel like I could voice my thoughts naturally, with less anxiety, since evaluation took place anonymously."

Student of Sociology and Anthropology, Wright State University
