This article will guide you through our Discussion on Work tool and its possibilities. This article is written to help you to enhance your understanding of the functionalities of this tool. 

In this article, a demo assignment with student activity shall be shown to let you see what the tool looks like when it's filled with activity. 

Now we will see what the assignment looks like when students have completed it. 

At the top of the assignment, you will see the overall student progress overview. You can see how many students have completed the assignment, how many comments students placed on average and the total number of upvotes. If you press export analytics, a excel file will be downloaded in which all the assignment analytics are available.

Click on Statistics per active student to see individual students' progress. Here you can see if the students have read instructions, handed in their assignment, participated in discussion the total number of comments they wrote and received, how many upvotes they have given and received and if they have reflected on the discussion. You can expand this table by clicking on the Fullscreen button.

After the instructions in step 1, you can see who completed their hand ins and if they handed in on time in step 2. If you click on the document icon on the right, you can view the deliverable of the students. You also have the possibility to download all submissions. 

If you have turned on the Plagiarism check functionality while setting up the activity, here you will see the plagiarism results. Please see more about how to interpret the plagiarism check percentages here. Note that students will not see these results from their end.

This functionality is in beta and requires configuration from an LMS admin and FeedbackFruits. If you are interested, please inform your contact person or Pilot and Partner Manager at FeedbackFruits to guide you through the integration. Read more about FeedbackFruits and Turnitin here.

Step 3 offers you the possibility to see which students have been discussing work from their peers by reading, responding, and upvoting replies. If your click on the Go to the discussion button, you will be able to see the overall progress. We will talk about this a bit further down.

In this step you can also grant extensions or change the deadline as needed.

Finally, the keyword insights feature will provide you with the most popular topics or words your students mention in a learning activity. This includes reviews, comments, and discussion threads. If you click on a word, you will see an overview of all the comments that contain this precise keyword. You can click on the comment and be driven to the precise context of the comment.
