FeedbackFruits for students

There are a range of FeedbackFruits tools that you may come across in your studies. Each FeedbackFruits tool uses a numbered block structure, where each block represents one step of the task. As each tool is similar in appearance and structure, this page outlines the tools, what they are used for, and where you can locate materials that could help you complete your activities or assignments.

Peer review and peer feedback

Peer review is the process of providing feedback to your classmates on their work. There are three FeedbackFruits tools you could use as part of this process:

• If Step 2 in the FeedbackFruits interface is ‘Hand in’ and the Select File button is purple, you are using FeedbackFruits: Peer Review. This assignment type is used to provide feedback to your peers on essays, podcasts, videos and other artefacts. Depending on how your subject coordinator has designed the activity, you may not need to submit a document in the hand in step.
• If Step 2 in the FeedbackFruits interface is ‘Hand in’ and the Select File button is green, you are using Discussion Assignment. This assignment type is used to facilitate discussion between classmates following the submission of a document. This document may be a Microsoft Word or PDF file, video, podcast or another resource specified by your subject coordinator.
• If Step 2 in the FeedbackFruits interface is ‘Give Feedback’, you are using FeedbackFruits: Group Member Evaluation. This assignment type may be used for providing feedback to your peers on oral presentations, poster presentations or other in-class activities. FeedbackFruits: Group Member Evaluation may also have been set up for you to report on how your group members contributed to the final product of a group assignment, or how well your team is working together during group work.

Course readings, videos and audio

FeebackFruits has four tools to help you interact with course material: Interactive Document, Interactive Video, Interactive Audio and Comprehension). To determine which tool you are using look at the label next to the Step 2 circle:

1. Interactive Documents (step 2 is labelled Document)
2. Interactive Video (step 2 is labelled Video)
3. Interactive Audio (step 2 is labelled Audio)
4. Comprehension (step 2 is labelled Comprehension)

The interactive tools are used  to read, watch or listen to a learning resource, answer quiz questions, post discussions and reply to the discussion posts of your teachers and peers.

In comprehension activities you may be asked to read, watch or listen to a resource and provide written comments or reflections on given topics.

Assignment review

You may be asked to submit your assignment via the FeedbackFruits Assignment Review tool. Assignment Review facilitates assignment submission and feedback by teaching staff in a similar manner to some LMS assignments. You could be asked to submit a wide variety of file types – check your assignment instructions for which file formats are to be submitted.
