At the top of the assignment, you will see the Overall student progress overview. Click on Statistics per active student to see individual students' progress. Here, you can see if students have read the instructions, Submitted their file, Discussions participated and finally, if students have written their reflections, if enabled.

It is also possible to export all the student data into an Excel file. This file contains information concerning analytics per student, submissions, discussion threads, views etc. You can download this export by clicking on the purple EXPORT ANALYTICS button in the overall student progress window.

Here, you'll see the instructions you set when you configured the assignment. You can change these by clicking the purple edit button in the top-right corner of the screen.

Collaboration Options

Directly underneath the instructions, you can select options for student collaboration.

When selecting student collaboration options, there are several configurations to choose from. Please bear in mind that collaboration options need to be selected before students participate in the assignment - once a student makes progress, the configurations can't be updated.

Options for students discussion:

Required number of files to hand in: Set the amount of files that students are required to hand in. The submission requirement can be set at exactly, minimum or between your chosen amount. Students can always hand in more files than required.

Scheduling deadlines: Set the hand-in deadline. Students have to upload their work before this deadline. After the deadline expires, students will no longer be able to submit their file and receive feedback. If no deadline is specified at this stage, students are free to utilize the submission section and receive feedback at their convenience.

If a deadline for submission has been set for the students, you have the option to allow for students to hand in after the submission deadline has passed. Simply enable this option (as shown on the screenshot below), and students will be able to hand in after the submission deadline as well. Keep in mind that enabling this option will not affect the student analytics - you will still be able to see if students have submitted on time or not.

File requirements: Check the box next to the file type you want your students to hand in. Students will not be able to upload file types to you deselect. For an overview of which formats are supported for each file type, click here.

Please note that embedded audio and video in documents and slideshows cannot be played in FeedbackFruits.

Example: Please name your student number in the file-name. Upload both your essay and the slides you will use when presenting about your essay.

Here, you see an overview of all the students who have handed in their work, and which students have not handed in their work. For students that submitted work, you see if they handed it in late or on time. If the deadline has not yet passed, you can click postpone next to the deadline to change the deadline. If the deadline has passed, but you want students to be able to still submit their work, you can now grant individual deadline extensions for specific students. This can be done by clicking on grant extension above the download button.

You can also view student submissions online. Click on the file icon under files handed in to see which files they submitted. Click view to display the submitted work. Note that If the student submitted a video, you will see the video player instead of the document.

The active assignment in this step allows you to see which students have been engaging with their peers' work by reading, responding, and upvoting replies. By clicking on the Go to the discussion button, you can view the overall progress.

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.

When you press the Go to the discussion button, the instructions by the teacher on the peer discussion are shown, along with the works of the students. Step 4 will elaborate more on the options a teacher has in this window. Press the top left arrow to go back to the assignment overview.

In the next step, students will be able to view and comment on the work of everyone in the course, including peers or groups not assigned to them in the previous step. Students can only begin the open discussion after participating in the required number of discussions specified in step 3.

In step 4, you can set a deadline. If you set a deadline for the previous step (step 3), you will see the option: Students can start on this task - before or after the deadline of the previous step. When this is enabled, students can start discussing the work of everyone in the course before the deadline of step 3 has passed.

If you don't want students to have an open discussion, you can delete this step by clicking the cross in the top right corner.

Step 4 displays the statistics on the open discussion. It shows below that 2 students have completed this part of the assignment. The students who haven't finished this part have 0 participation in extra discussions and 0 total comments. They have received comments but haven't contributed themselves. To see the contributions of all students, click Go to the discussion.

When you have pressed this button, the following screen will appear. At the top, the teacher's instructions are shown. Further down, the students' contributions are visible. You can sort these according to your preference. They are now sorted on most commented on first. It now only shows three comments. If you want to see them all, press oldest.

Let's zoom in on the top part. Student Ash Fisher submitted a paper. You can see she has received a total of 4 comments and 2 upvotes. As mentioned above, you can click Show older to view all comments. Clicking the comment button will collapse or reveal the comments. Clicking the thumbs-up icon allows you to upvote the submission.

If you hover your mouse over the deliverable on the right side, it will display Show. Clicking this will let you see the document Ash Fisher submitted, along with the comments from other students.

Here, you have access to the document along with students' comments. On the right, you'll find the taskbar providing an overview of student comments. You can observe whether students have reacted to each other or upvoted. On the second page of the document, a student has made an annotation. Clicking on the annotation will lead you to the associated comment. Alternatively, you can click the grey comment icon. If you click on the pen icon in the bottom-right corner, you can add a general comment. To return to the open discussion page, click the arrow in the top-left corner.

In step 5, the parameters for reflecting on the discussion are established. You can set a deadline, specify the required length of the written reflection (including minimum and maximum word counts), and provide instructions for writing the reflection.

If you prefer not to have students write a reflection, you can remove this step by clicking on the cross in the top-right corner of the step.

Concluding an assignment with a reflection is a valuable step. For instance, students can reflect on their experience with the feedback process. In the active assignment of this step, you'll receive an overview of who has participated in the reflection.

Here, the teacher can track the progress of groups and individual students who have begun or completed their reflections. Only those who have made progress in this step are displayed. To read all reflections, click the view reflections button. If you wish to read a specific student's reflection, clicking view next to their name will display it.

After finishing setting up the core of the assignment, it is possible to add the configurable grading module. Click here to learn more about how this grading module works.

In this step, you have to access a comprehensive overview detailing the grades of each student within the system.

By default, the grading module is enabled, it will be visible after the last step. The image below shows what that will look like. By clicking on the arrow on the right or using the scroll bar at the bottom, the teacher can view the rest of the grade sections (from left to right). On the far right there is also an optional grade adjustment . This allows the teacher to add or subtract points for each student. Click on Fullscreen to get a better view.
