Improvements for teachers and LMS admins

More flexible publishing of feedback

To support a more staged release of feedback and flexibility to align with course processes feedback can now be published on a student by student or group by group basis.

Please note: This option is only available when the collaboration option is set to "Students are evaluated: As a group". 

Standard publication of a full activities feedback is still possible in the same way as previously.

To publish on an individual basis, view an individual students feedback in the ‘Received reviews’ step, where you will see a ‘Publish now’ button.

This will not be possible when feedback is set to immediately be visible to students, and supports deadlines and manual feedback publication settings.

Place FeedbackFruits activities with ease – Publish to LMS / Course Navigation Placement for Brightspace & Blackboard

We’re excited to announce that Publish to LMS is now live and available for Brightspace and Blackboard! This new functionality makes it much easier to get started by allowing you to place FeedbackFruits activities directly into your course from the course navigation — no extra steps needed.

New Releases

Acai Rubric Assistant

For anyone exploring the Acai grading assistant and wishing more rubrics were supported, we’re excited to share that now they can be!

The Acai Rubric Assistant generates suggestions to help improve descriptions in your rubrics. When you accept the suggestions, this also ensures they can be utilised by the grading assistant. It could be that you receive no suggestions if it is deemed usable by the grading assistant without modifications needed.

Currently the rubric and grading assistants are available as a feature flag. Please contact your Implementation or Partner Success Manager to have it activated or for more information.

This development has been made possible through co-creation with the following partners: Breda University of Applied Sciences, HAS green academy, De Haagse Hogeschool, Hogeschool Inholland, Hogeschool Leiden, Hogeschool Rotterdam, Hogeschool Saxion, Hogeschool Windesheim, and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
