How are you assessing individual contributions in AI-era group work?

I am a teacher and have been thinking about how much harder it is to judge individual contribution when students are collaborating digitally and using AI. I have been developing an AI-assisted, educator-facing tool that looks at contribution history in shared Google Docs and gives the teacher additional evidence to work with. I would be interested to hear how others are approaching this problem. If anyone wants to test what I have built, feel free to DM me.

How do you assess individual contributions in group work?

I am a high school business teacher and built Collaboration Tracker after getting frustrated with trying to figure out who actually did what in shared Google Docs. It turns the document activity into a clearer breakdown of individual contributions. I am curious whether adjuncts who assign group work would find something like this useful. What would you need it to show for it to actually help with grading or feedback? Happy to share it if anyone wants to test it.

I'm a teacher building a tool to track who actually does the work in group projects. Students, I need your opinion.

Hi all! I'm a high school teacher, and I built a tool that tracks individual contributions in group work, so teachers have real visibility into who did what instead of just guessing when it's grading time. I want to hear it from the other side: as a student, does something like this sound fair and helpful (finally, credit for people who actually do the work), or does it feel like surveillance / another way to get in trouble? Genuinely want the unfiltered take, good or bad. If you've been in a group project where one person did everything and everyone got the same grade or the opposite, where you did the work and got lumped in with people who didn't I'd love to hear about it too.

Free Beta Chrome extension that shows individual contributions in Google Docs group projects. Looking for teachers/profs testers

What it does: Collaboration Tracker is a Chrome extension for teachers who assign group projects in Google Docs. It's tough to know who actually contributed what when students collaborate. My extension pulls the doc's revision history into a readable report showing who wrote what, when, and an AI-generated read on how substantial each person's contribution was (not just word/edit counts, which are easy to game).

Who I'm looking for: Teachers (any subject, any grade level) and professors who currently use group projects/collaborative Google Docs with students. Should take about 15-20 minutes to install and run on one document.

What's in it for you: Free tier includes 3 reports. I'm looking for honest feedback. What's useful, what's confusing, whether the AI's read on contributions feels fair and accurate.
