How TAIF works
One question becomes a learning conversation.
TAIF protects the discussion before the result appears, then gives students a reason to reconsider while their thinking is still active.
- 01
Discuss
Students compare interpretations and explain the evidence behind their thinking.
- 02
Commit
The team agrees on one answer it can defend before the result is revealed.
- 03
Learn from feedback
Immediate feedback prompts the team to reconsider, retry and explain what changed.
Instructors can also run single-student activities. Each student answers independently, receives immediate feedback and earns their own mark.

Examples across disciplines
Whatever you teach, make the reasoning visible.

Accounting
Students reason through complex judgements and defend the evidence behind a decision.

Teams compare constraints, trade-offs and alternative solutions.
View example →Health sciences
Students surface misconceptions while there is still time to correct them.

Teams distinguish procedural safeguards from tempting assumptions about the merits.
View example →For the educator
See where teams are in the learning process.
During a live session, TAIF shows whether teams are discussing, ready to reveal, retrying or temporarily offline. After the session, educators can review results and exports.
Review attempts and learning
Use the team's recorded path, marks and reflections to inform what happens next.
Grounded in research
The teaching approach draws on published work in team assessment and immediate feedback.

RetryingPractical questions
What an educator needs to know.
Can I use TAIF for just one question during class?
Yes. An activity can contain a single multiple-choice question. Use it to get students discussing a concept, check understanding or begin a classroom conversation. The result does not need to contribute to the course grade.
Can students complete an activity individually?
Yes. Choose the Individual activity type. You can also choose student self-enrolment and set Maximum students per team to 1. Each student joins using the activity code, answers independently and receives their own mark. Immediate feedback and retry scoring still apply. Team discussion, multi-device team participation, Think first are switched off. An optional reflection is available after completion.
Single-student activities are an independent adaptation. The original team-based study does not establish learning outcomes for this mode. An individual mark records the submitted answers; it does not, by itself, verify identity, independent authorship or invigilated conditions.
What do I prepare before class?
Create an activity with one or more questions with two to six options, identify each correct answer and add optional explanations. Then choose the scoring, team formation, question order, device and Think First settings, and test the student interaction in Preview.
Do students need accounts or individual devices?
Students do not need accounts. In a single-student activity, each student answers on their own device. For a team activity, the team can share one device, or verified teammates can join on their own devices when member devices are enabled.
Can TAIF be used for graded and ungraded activities?
Yes. TAIF supports graded and ungraded activities with team or individual participation. The educator chooses the scoring and explains how the resulting mark will be used.
What can I review afterwards?
Educators can open Review to inspect team results, attempts, marks and reflections, and use the available exports.
