Team Up! is a web-based group assessment tool made to encourage group/team work, peer teaching, engagement with course materials, and active learning.

The assessment tool is designed to make students work together to reach a consensus before choosing their answer, providing immediate feedback on the answer given.

Multiple choice is currently the only supported question type, with the option of plain text, LaTeX, pictures/graphs/images or YouTube videos embedded within the question. Students can access the tool using any device (phone, tablet, computer) via their course in Quercus. Marks are sent directly to the Quercus Gradebook. Points (in the form of diamonds) are awarded based on how many attempts are required to obtain the correct answer, and can be customized to personal preference; typically, 5 points are awarded if a group is correct on the first try, 3 points if two tries are required, etc.
