FeedbackFruits
FeedbackFruits is a suite of educational tools designed to enhance peer interaction, discussion, reflection, and engagement. Fully integrated with Brightspace, it allows instructors to sync due dates, grades, and groups—including the ability to create groups in FeedbackFruits and sync them back to Brightspace.
All FeedbackFruits tools share a user-friendly, consistent interface. Assignments are structured into clear, step-by-step modules, guiding students through their tasks and progress.
Key features include:
- Rich media support: Screen recording, audio/video uploads, text, and attachments directly within the browser.
- Seamless Brightspace integration: Sync groups, due dates (automatically populating the Brightspace Course Calendar), and retroactively update group formations.
- Multiple due dates: Assign different deadlines within an activity.
