For example, instead of getting the tool to check if referencing had been completed correctly, it was possible to run a Peer Review activity, where students checked each other\u2019s attempts at referencing, using library guidance for comparison.\u00a0 Both activities aim to provide helpful feedback to students as they start on their academic writing journey, whilst freeing up staff time to concentrate on highlighting misconceptions and guiding students in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p>We've also learned that the Skills Review activity can allow multiple staff to assess the same student at the same time, and the tool will adjust the marks to give an average score. This is being used for student presentations, where the assessors can each record their mark and feedback comments after each presentation is delivered.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve also been learning about some of the technical issues related to having such a tool integrated with Moodle.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We\u2019ve seen a small number of cases where the syncing of groups between Moodle and FeedbackFruits has required some admin intervention. Luckily, the in-page access to FeedbackFruits support has been very useful and issues have been resolved very quickly.<\/li>\n<li>One FeedbackFruits activity made use of all the available tasks \u2013 a Peer Review activity, with an additional automated feedback task as well as a reflection task. With a cohort of 250+, the file size associated with the activity (with all the submissions, automated feedback reports etc.) resulted in the activity timing out for the tutor. Students were able to continue to work on the activity without issue, but for staff we needed admin support and a change of browser to allow us to view the results.\u00a0 Our advice for large cohorts is to split the activity into two parts; automated feedback, and then peer review.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Join us for a FeedbackFruits workshop<\/h2>\n<p>Before the start of semester 2 there will be another online workshop delivered by the FeedbackFruits team, focussing on the popular peer review tool.\u00a0 If you\u2019re interested in seeing what it looks like from the student view, please book your place.\u00a0 Come and ask questions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/teachinghub.bath.ac.uk\/events\/streameline-the-peer-feedback-process-with-feedback-fruits\/\">Book your place on the next FeedbackFruits workshop<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FeedbackFruits is an assessment and feedback platform that integrates in Moodle.
