VisibleAI + Kritik Bundle
This semester, we will be using the bundled tools built by Kritik Education. VisibleAI is now built directly into Kritik, so you'll be able to access all VisibleAI features without leaving the Kritik platform.
About the tools:
Kritik is a peer-to-peer learning and evaluation platform. Kritik puts you, the student, at the center of your learning. Kritik is focused on an important goal: to help you develop critical thinking and communication skills, which in turn set you up for success both in and out of the classroom.
VisibleAI (www.visibleai.io) is a feature focused on AI transparency and literacy that will build trust between you and your instructor based on the composition of your work. VisibleAI enables instructors and students to better understand and manage AI use in academic work, removing the uncertainty around AI-generated content. With the bundle, VisibleAI is now seamlessly integrated within Kritik, so you can compose your work directly inside Kritik with all of VisibleAI's authorship tracking built right in.
Each Kritik activity has 3 unique stages:
Stage 1: Create — Follow the instructions, read the provided rubric, and create your submission. Click the button that says "Start writing your creation", which will open the VisibleAI editor directly inside Kritik where you'll compose your work. All VisibleAI features (authorship tracking, AI Assistant, authenticity score, etc.) are available right within Kritik, no need to switch between platforms.
Stage 2: Evaluate — Anonymously score your peers based on the rubric in Kritik, and provide written comments.
Stage 3: Feedback — Provide your peer evaluators anonymous feedback in Kritik based on how motivational and critical their written comments were.
To understand how each product works, you can watch the following introduction videos on YouTube:
PLEASE NOTE: VisibleAI is now fully integrated within Kritik, meaning you'll have access to the complete VisibleAI functionality directly inside the Kritik platform. There is no need to switch between tools. Once your assignment is submitted in the Create stage, the Evaluate stage will begin. Here, you'll be able to see your peers' submissions, along with their assignment insights from VisibleAI, all within Kritik.
Grading
When you participate in these activities, you will receive 3 scores: Creation score, Evaluation score, and Feedback score. The weighted average of these three scores will determine your Overall score for that activity. The Grading Scheme can be found in the course info section in Kritik.
