Gamified Peer Review is an activity that positions students as collaborative partners in the learning process. Peer Review enables students to provide structured feedback on each other’s work, and our gamified approach adds medals, experience points (XP), and leaderboards to enhance motivation and engagement.

In this session, Freyja Sigurðardóttir discusses the potential of Gamified Peer Review to encourage students to take charge of their own learning, while supporting their peers by providing them with feedback, and outline best practices how to implement it with the FeedbackFruits Peer Review tool.

This session focuses on the summative use of peer assessment in group work, and how instructors can individualize group grades in peer assessment in an effective way.

Moving from student centered to human centered learning has been a journey formed by feedback: from students, teachers, and inclusion specialists. One of the ways we can shift our classroom culture is to change the way we approach the syllabus. Often called a “contract of the course,” the syllabus document serves many purposes. Erica and Sarah discuss how and why they coach instructors to recenter their course environment to prioritize human interactions by addressing their values and inviting students to participate in building the syllabus document.

In an era where generative AI is increasingly prevalent in higher education, especially in online programs, there is a pressing need to rethink how learners are assessed. This reassessment is crucial not only to limit the overreliance on these tools but also to promote deeper student engagement in the learning process. One promising approach to addressing these challenges is formative evaluation, particularly through self-assessment. By requiring learners to produce reflective, personal writing, the motivation to rely on generative AI diminishes, while their personal commitment to their education grows. Since self-assessment, as noted earlier, is formative in nature and not tied to formal grading, the temptation to use AI or engage in dishonest practices is further reduced.

In this session, The ESSEC team presents the implementation of self-assessment through FeedbackFruits in their flagship SPOC, “Diversity & Inclusion in the Workplace”, which has yielded high-quality results, showcasing a marked improvement in learner engagement compared to previous course iterations.

Explore the NHL Stenden’s transition from traditional portfolios to a streamlined, user-friendly approach that enables students to concentrate more fully on learning.

Group projects and peer-to-peer activities stimulate active learning and promote valuable transfer of skills, however it is difficult to create an institutional culture of group-work and peer-to-peer learning due to pedagogical and technical barriers. In this session, learn how Yale University piloted FeedbackFruits to scale group and peer-to-peer feedback opportunities.

Professional Development could be considered a part of the "hidden curriculum," essential skills learned in school but not formally taught. While many higher education institutions have career centers that offer a range of voluntary services to help students seek gainful employment following their studies, these tend not to be a part of any formal curriculum.

In this session, Natalie Berkman talks about how Quest Education Group implemented student employment outcomes in the academic programs of Gaming Campus and Guardia Cybersecurity School with innovative eLearning modules, a flipped classroom approach, and personalized coaching sessions and group workshops.
