YuJa FeedbackFlow Assessment Platform Update – v25.5.0 Release

Rolling out over the next few weeks, this update will enhance collaborative learning with new peer review and self-assessment capabilities, while introducing interactive chat for instructor-student dialogue during grading. Additional improvements will include a centralized Rubrics Management page, assessment analytics for tracking student progress, and a new Question-and-Answer feedback type supporting multimedia responses.

Students Will Be Able to Complete Self-Assessments Using Course Rubrics

Students will be able to assess their own submissions against provided rubrics through a new self-assessment feature. Instructors can assign self-reviews to students, who will receive email notifications and access a grading interface to evaluate their own work, promoting self-reflection and learning accountability.
A New Peer Review System Will Enable Student-to-Student Assessment and Feedback

A new peer review system will allow instructors to assign students to evaluate and provide feedback on fellow students’ submissions using course rubrics. The system will automatically assign peer reviewers while maintaining the option for instructors to provide final grading.
A New Rubrics Management Page Will Centralize Rubric Creation and Organization

A new Rubrics Management page will provide instructors, IT managers, and admins with centralized access to view, edit, and organize all rubrics they have permissions to access. Users can create new rubrics, search existing ones, rename and preview rubric structures, and duplicate rubrics when edit permissions are not available, streamlining rubric workflows outside of the assessment creation process.
Assessment Analytics Will Now Display Student Progress and Grading Statistics

The assessment overview page will feature analytics showing the number and percentage of students who have completed assessments versus those who haven’t submitted. Additional statistics will track grading progress, displaying how many assessments are in progress, not graded, and graded, giving instructors clear visibility into class engagement and grading workflow status.
New Interactive Chat Will Enable Discussion Between Instructors and Students During Grading

Instructors will be able to start discussions with students during the grading process, allowing for clarifying questions and back-and-forth conversation before final grades are assigned. Students can respond to instructor comments through their dashboard, and grading for discussed questions will be disabled until the instructor marks the discussion as resolved to help ensure thorough communication before assessment completion.
