FeedbackFruits

Feedback Fruits (Peer Assessment)

FeedbackFruits is a peer assessment collaboration tool which enables group peer assessment, peer to peer assessment and self-assessment to be carried out online.

FeedbackFruits allows for ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ to participate in Group Member Evaluation, a function which enables peers to assess each other on group work carried out. Groups assess their own members through a combination of predefined rubrics and free comments.

It encourages critical thinking among ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ by assessment of both their own and their peers’ contribution on group assignments. This leads to a transfer of ownership of the assessment process, increasing motivation, engagement, and deeper learning.

Key features:

  • Create Group Member Assessment Activities - Easily create group or peer assessment activities, with options for visual instructions and seamless LMS synchronisation for groups and grades.
  • Centralise Peer Assessment - Customise grading criteria with options including Likert scales and qualitative feedback comments for all contexts. The simple and transparent user interface enables ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ to review their peers without ever needing to leave the page.
  • Overview Student Progress - Instantaneous analytics provide new insights into student progress. Configurable grading can also be enabled to change individual grades within larger group assignments.
