The Non-FeedbackFruits step is an instructions-only step that teachers can add to a Studio activity. It lets teachers share free-form text, links, attachments, and guidance with students inside the activity flow, without requiring students to submit work or complete a feedback task.
When to use the Non-FeedbackFruits step
Use this step when you need to:
Provide context or instructions before another learning step, such as “Read this first” or “Prepare for the next activity.”
Guide students through an offline or live activity, such as a lecture, workshop, lab, group meeting, or in-class exercise.
Share external resources students need to access, such as a Miro board, reading, dataset, video, Google Doc, or LMS page.
What students can do in this step
In this step, students can:
Read the instructions.
Open any links or resources shared by the teacher.
Continue to the next step in the activity.
Because this step is meant for communication and wayfinding, it does not collect submissions and does not run a review or feedback workflow.
Why it is useful
In many courses, important guidance is spread across announcements, emails, LMS pages, and external documents. The Non-FeedbackFruits step helps keep instructions in the same place as the rest of the learning activity.
This can make the student experience clearer and more consistent, especially in longer, multi-step activities.
When not to use it
Do not use the Non-FeedbackFruits step if you need students to submit something or provide proof of completion. For example: if students need to upload a deliverable, answer a reflection question, complete a check-in, or submit evidence of participation, use a step designed to capture student input instead.
