Feature Showcase: Reports and Tracking
Rolljak also generates detailed session reports, highlighting the performance of every student and team. This enables teachers to quickly identify those who need extra support and offer targeted guidance.
What sets Rolljak apart is its Engagement Score—a unique metric that combines several factors: how long participants stay active (e.g., keeping the tab open), how quickly and frequently they respond, and whether they collaborate and complete peer evaluations effectively.
Each student receives an Engagement Score at the end of the session, which is especially valuable in workshops where success isn’t measured by right answers, but by participation, group outcomes, and contributions toward project goals. Rolljak presents this data in a clear, digestible format, making it easy for teachers to identify disengaged students and check in—whether they were facing technical difficulties or needed additional support.
📚 Case Study #4: Singapore School of Technology (SST)
Problem
The School of Science and Technology (SST) needed an effective way to engage students in brainstorming and ideation as part of their Applied Learning Program (ALP). However, organizing these sessions was time-consuming for teachers. Student participation was uneven, responses were slow, and peer feedback lacked depth—mainly because inputs weren’t well-documented or easy to review.
Solution
They turned to Rolljak to streamline collaboration during brainstorming and group discussions. The platform enabled students to contribute ideas more easily, provide meaningful peer feedback, and gather constructive input from their classmates—all within a single, user-friendly interface.

👩🏫 What this means for you
Rolljak is the easiest way to run group discussions—online or offline—regardless of group size. It supports both divergent thinking through collaboration and convergent thinking with peer evaluation. Best of all, every response is instantly documented, making it easy to track contributions and insights.
Feature Showcase: Collaboration
Ensuring equal participation in collaborative activities is always a challenge. Getting every student to contribute to group discussions or projects can be difficult—some tend to disengage and let others do the work.
Rolljak tackles this with a unique three-phase structure:
Phase 1: Respond – Students submit individual responses within a set time.
Phase 2: Collaborate – Responses are randomly shared with peers who improve or build upon them.
Phase 3: Evaluate – Students review and provide feedback on their peers’ contributions.
Each phase is time-boxed, so you can control the duration and pace of the activity. Rolljak automatically collects all responses when time runs out—no need to chase students for submissions.
This structured, phase-based approach mirrors collaborative sketching techniques like 6-3-5 Brainwriting from Design Thinking, ensuring everyone participates meaningfully. Plus, you can control how many rounds of collaboration take place, giving you flexibility to adapt to your class needs.
Feature Showcase: Peer Evaluation
At SST, teachers use Rolljak to guide students in listing innovation opportunities, crafting problem statements, and generating ideas. To keep discussions moving and to support group project development, teachers needed students to provide constructive feedback to their peers.
Rolljak makes peer evaluation simple and flexible by offering multiple methods:
- Tagging – Great for organizing and categorizing responses. Students can assign multiple tags to each idea or submission.
- Rating – Teachers can set up to 8 custom evaluation parameters, with scoring scales ranging from 1–3 to 1–1000.
- Crowdfunding – Ideal for ideation sessions, this feature gives each participant a pool of “Rolljak coins” to invest in the ideas they believe in most.
- Comments – Classic written feedback allows students to highlight strengths and suggest improvements in a more personalized way.
These tools empower students to meaningfully evaluate each other’s contributions, helping groups progress with clarity and purpose.
Feature Showcase: Instant Documentation
Rolljak instantly documents all discussions and activities, so nothing gets lost. Every response, piece of feedback, and collaborative idea is automatically saved and organized—making it easy for teachers to review contributions, track progress, and refer back to earlier stages of the discussion whenever needed.

This instant feedback enables teachers to quickly check in and re-engage students who are not actively participating.
Feature Showcase: Time-bound activities
Conducting formative assessments or pop quizzes can be effortless with Rolljak. One of the biggest challenges in running online programs is time management—and Rolljak solves this with time-boxed activities. Teachers can centrally control the duration of each activity, ensuring the session stays on track.
