Accessibility

We're devoted to making our tools as accessible as possible for all learners - to read more about accessibility in FeedbackFruits tools, check this article: Accessibility: Within FeedbackFruits Tools.

 

 

Step 1: Instructions

In step 1, you can read the instructions that have been set by your teacher.

Step 2: Create a New Discussion Post

Here, you can create a new discussion post for your peers to engage with. Begin typing your post in response to the discussion prompt provided by your teacher in the green area above. You can enhance your post by adding items such as an audio recording, video, screen capture, or an attached file. Your progress can be tracked, and the progress bar will automatically update once you submit your post.

To create another post, simply click the Create another post button. This will open a new text box where you can write your next post.

Step 3: Discuss with your Peers

Here, you can view the posts assigned for discussion. Click the green Start Discussing button to begin the discussion thread.

 

Fig. 4: Step 3 overview

 

At the top of the page, you'll find the instructions, and below that, the posts you need to discuss. Clicking the chatbox icon (located next to the thumbs-up in the bottom left corner of a post) will open a sidebar where you can reply to the topic and start a discussion.

 

If you need to discuss more than one post, click the LOOK FOR A PEER button to display the next peer post assigned for discussion.

 

Lastly, you can view posts from peers you are not assigned to by scrolling down. While you can reply to their posts, doing so will not earn you any points.

Step 4: Select Most Valuable Contributions (If made available)

This is an additional step, so please note that it may not always be included. If your teacher has added this step, you will find it in Step 4.

Here, you can choose the most valuable contributions from comments made by other students. After clicking Select Contributions, open the comment section of the topic. Then, simply click the Valuable button on the comment you find most meaningful.

Grading

Finally, at the bottom of the assignment, the points of the grading are shown (see image below).

When the teacher hasn't enabled grading (yet), then the assignment won't be graded unless your teacher enables it. This grading section will then be shown as in the image below:
