Illustration of the instructor group overview
The problem
Group projects fail quietly
Work stalls, one student carries the load, communication breaks down, and nobody raises it. By the time an instructor hears about it — often in the final week, or in the grade dispute afterwards — the deadline has passed and there is nothing left to fix.
Trouble stays invisible
Instructors see submissions and grades, not the week-by-week state of a team.
Signals arrive too late
Problems surface after the deadline, when support can no longer change the outcome.
Students wait it out
Raising a teammate problem feels like escalating a conflict, so nobody starts.
How GroupMate Radar works
Detect, intervene, monitor — every week
- 01
Students check in weekly
Five yes/no questions, under a minute, private to the student.
- 02
Rules score each team
Overdue tasks, missed check-ins, and reported concerns produce an explainable score.
- 03
Instructors see who needs help
Every group is marked Healthy, Attention, or At Risk, with the reasons behind it.
- 04
Interventions are recorded
What the instructor did is saved to the group timeline so change is visible.
GroupMate Radar is not a grading tool, a peer-rating system, or a prediction engine. The score is a rule-based prompt to look closer, and the instructor decides what happens next.
Product preview
One screen for the whole cohort
The instructor view lists every group in one place: progress, whether the weekly check-in came in, days to the deadline, and the current team-health state.
| Group | Progress | Check-in | Deadline | Health |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | 86% | Check-In Complete | 6 days | Healthy |
| Group 2 | 72% | Check-In Complete | 6 days | Healthy |
| Group 3 | 48% | Check-In Missed | 6 days | At Risk |
| Group 4 | 67% | Check-In Complete | 6 days | Attention |
Early problem validation
A directional signal, honestly labelled
A directional student sample, gathered while shaping the problem.
- n = 8
- student directional sample
- 8/8
- would use the concept
- 7/8
- want reminders and alerts
- 4.4/5
- average usefulness
Progress tracking was the most requested feature.
One instructor has informally indicated she would use a tool addressing this problem. This is an early signal, not a pilot commitment.
Who it is for
Built for the people in the project
Instructors running group projects
See which teams need a conversation this week, not after the deadline.
Students on those teams
A private, 60-second way to say that work has stalled, without confronting a teammate.
Programs piloting early intervention
A record of what was detected, what was done, and what changed afterwards.

We are looking for instructors and programs willing to try early intervention on one course.
