People don’t change, technology does.
Meaning, belonging, confidence, growth.
If your faculty, staff, and students are disenchanted by endless “technology solutions” that seem to have little to no bearing on real world interactions, we get it. ClassRanked was built so students will feel and be heard and understood, faculty will feel and be valued, and admins will get an A+ for their foresight, insight, and outcomes.
This company began at a university to solve a universal problem. Today, ClassRanked is working to change the paradigm for assessment and evaluation and help colleges and universities attract, recruit, and retain the best and brightest.
Meet the humans!
We put the people in people-centered, so you get the most from your assessments and evaluations.
