Visual Ranking Tool: Help Using the Tool

With the Visual Ranking tool, you can sort just about any list. To sort the items, click on the box for the item you want to move and then drag it up or down to where you think it belongs.

Instruction

Think about where each item should go in the list. Rank EVERY item, not just the top few. Items cannot be tied.

Move ranking

You can add a comment to any item. Double-click the item and then enter your comments. Say as much as you want and then click OK.

After you have your list in order, you can compare it with the lists made by other students or teams in your class. Click the Compare button  to see the names of the other teams. Then pick the one whose list you want to see. Their list will be displayed beside yours.

Comparing teams

When you compare lists, you may see a correlation statistic. This number can range from -1 to 1. A number close to 1 means that the two lists are similar. A number close to -1 means that the two lists are nearly opposite.

You can also see the average of how the whole class ranked the list. When you select "Class Average," the list on the right shows the average ranking of each item by everyone in the class. If there is a tie, the tied items are shown next to each other.

Report
To see a report of how you ranked each item and what comments you made, click the Show report button.  The report will be displayed in a new window. From here you can print the report or copy and paste it into a new document.
