FeedbackFruits

FeedbackFruits Overview

FeedbackFruits is a suite of peer review tools that have been integrated with Bruin Learn. The tools included in FeedbackFruits are:

  • Peer Review: This tool allows students to submit individual or group work; provide individual or group feedback, guided by a scoring rubric or sliding scale criteria; perform self-assessments; and reflect on feedback provided by their peers.
  • Group Member Evaluation: This tool provides a platform for students to evaluate their team members’ contributions to a group project and to individualize group project grade.
FeedbackFruits is currently in a pilot review through the 2023-2024 academic year. For questions or to participate in this pilot, please contact the Bruin Learn support team, bruinlearn-support@it.ucla.edu.

Primary Benefits

The Peer Review activity streamlines formative and summative assessment with flexible peer feedback criteria and self-reflection, while Group Member Evaluation streamlines how students assess their peers’ collaboration skills, based on teacher-designed criteria, saving instructor time on individualizing the final group project grades.
