AI holds the promise of fostering equitable and inclusive learning. From automating manual tasks for instructors to focus on teaching, to making the curriculum more accessible and personalized for every student. AI offers great potential to include students in more sophisticated ways. So how can institutions leverage pedagogy-driven AI to unlock the potential of every learner?

Join our webinar to understand the challenges, opportunities, and best practices for integrating AI tools to foster inclusive learning environments.

Quality curriculum is key to enhancing student learning experience and success. But how can institutions achieve this while there is too much to be checked on the to-do list? Communities of practice have long been recognized as key to addressing this challenge. These communities allow educators to collaborate, share resources, and support one another in implementing effective teaching strategies. FeedbackFruits Learning Design Community was created with a mission to provide a robust community for educators to connect and enhance their teaching practices collectively

Join our webinar to discover the missions of the Learning Design Community, and to pick up evidence-based learning designs and the best tips to adopt them in your institution.

Group work is key to facilitate communication, empower inclusive learning, and nurture real-life skills. However, designing and maintaining successful group projects is not an easy task. While instructors struggle to maintain student accountability, students encounter myriad frustrations due to their group members not contributing or procrastinating to the last minute. How can we increase student engagement and responsibility in group projects?

Join our webinar and discover the best strategies for elevating the group work experience for better collaboration and learning outcomes, shared by Caryn Neiswender and Amber Parker of the Paul Merage School of Business at the University of California, Irvine (UCI).

The rise of AI has undoubtedly raised concerns about student assessment, cheating, and ethical considerations amongst Business Schools. Is GenAI an ultimate threat to higher education? Are there opportunities to GenAI in students learning? Can we rethink assessment in the presence of GenAI? 

These are questions educators like yourself have been asking since the advent of ChatGPT early in November 2023 and that we will raise in our Panel Discussion this April 25th at 3:30 p.m CEST. Join our top-tier panelists from HEC, ESSEC & EDHEC and panel facilitator Dan Hasan from FeedbackFruits to learn about success stories and gain practical insight into topics such as: 

• Navigating the ethical complexities of GenAI in student assessment in top business schools 
• Rethinking the role of GenAI in student assessment through backward learning designs
• Best practice on how to leverage GenAI in business schools for the development of key career readiness skills. 

Over the past year, AI has revolutionized critical facets of higher education and set new expectations for the future workforce. For institutions as diverse as community colleges, this shift has made it imperative to adopt proactive measures in implementing robust, skill-driven learning and assessment strategies. Here, AI serves both as the disruptor and the solution, as it empowers institutions to personalize and assess learning at scale. 

Join this webinar to discover the art of integrating AI into education to foster student-centered, skill-oriented learning effortlessly and gain valuable insights into proven strategies shared by Santa Ana College, offering a roadmap for the effective implementation of AI-driven education.

The rise of AI over the past years has completely transformed education, especially for online and hybrid programs. Technologies like adaptive learning and AI-powered assessment show great capacity for personalized learning experiences, reduced faculty workload, and enhanced institutional effectiveness. To fully harness AI's power, it's crucial to balance its strengths with preserving the human element central to authentic learning and assessment.

Join our webinar to discover best practices, case studies, and examples of leveraging AI to make online and hybrid education more efficient, enhance teaching and learning, and reliably support faculty and students.

As more and more students express dissatisfaction with “one-size-fits-all” learning, higher education is at a turning point to find more inclusive and authentic approaches. Competency-based education (CBE) has been identified as an effective model for establishing a personalized, skill-oriented curriculum that emphasizes lifelong learning and mastery of essential skills for the workplace.

However, implementing CBE can be a challenging process, both due to a lack of standards for defining competencies and to technical limitations on scaling the process to large student cohorts, such as difficulties with combining and accessing learner analytics, insufficient configurability of learning tracks and rubrics, and the prioritization of age-based, rather than mastery-based cohorts.

Join this webinar to explore the fundamentals and best practices of CBE and learn how Rotterdam School of Management at Erasmus University (RSM) and FeedbackFruits co-developed Competency-Based Assessment, a flexible pedagogical solution to empower a smooth implementation of CBE in higher education.

In the post-AI educational landscape, designing meaningful courses that engage students and prepare them for their future professions is no small feat. To engage all diverse learners and stimulate the transfer of lifelong competencies, learning design needs to deploy authentic, inclusive assessment while ensuring high quality across different learning modalities.

Are you seeking innovative strategies to drive active learning and foster collaboration in various educational settings? Join our webinar to explore the best practices and insights shared by instructors and learning designers at the Texas A&M University, who transformed their curriculum with FeedbackFruits' solutions for iterative team-based learning, peer feedback, and social annotation activities.

Student well-being and a sense of agency are crucial to maintaining motivation and retention. Despite that, students in the UK and Ireland make it clear that their voices are not being heard. With faculties struggling to address emerging student concerns in time on top of their already heavy workload, there is a clear need for more personalised, student-centred assessment and learning practices that can both free instructors’ time and boost student satisfaction.

Join this webinar to dive deeper into the FeedbackFruits solutions and learn how Imperial College London and the University of Bath used FeedbackFruits to drive an institutional assessment and feedback transformation that saved faculties’ time and enriched the student experience.

Student dissatisfaction with feedback and assessment is one of the leading concerns in ensuring high-quality learning and teaching in the UK and Ireland. Relying on passive modes of assessment causes a deep disconnect between skills needed for the future versus the skills being assessed. To bridge this gap, it is necessary that educators adopt diverse and authentic assessment methods, but how can institutions implement them effectively?

Jisc recently partnered with FeedbackFruits to better address educational challenges as such and continue supporting higher and further education institutions in the region. With a tool suite of 15 VLE-integrated solutions, FeedbackFruits helps educators streamline the (peer) feedback processes, facilitate authentic assessment, and encourage collaboration in any setting.

Join the webinar to learn how FeedbackFruits can help your institution efficiently scale feedback and assessment processes and enrich the student experience.

Team-based learning is one of the most effective pedagogical approaches to encourage collaboration and critical thinking, but it can be laborious to implement, deliver, and manage, especially for large cohorts. To help combat this challenge, FeedbackFruits developed the LMS-integrated Team Based Learning solution to digitize the TBL process and make it much more streamlined, seamless, and engaging for both online and in-person participants.

Join this webinar for a deep dive into the new and improved FeedbackFruits Team Based Learning tool, explore best practices from TBL experts at Texas Christian University School of Medicine, and learn how Boston College scaled TBL to foster collaboration and employability skills.

With the rapid advancement of AI solutions such as ChatGPT, higher education institutions are struggling to ensure academic integrity while maintaining quality, growth-oriented learning experiences. However, the rise of ChatGPT also presents a critical opportunity to transform the way we think about learning and assessment. Here is where pedagogical approaches such as authentic assessment prove essential, as they can help engage and evaluate students at every step of their learning journey.

Join this webinar to discover the best authentic assessment strategies from Boston College and Fort Hays State University to foster meaningful learning in the new era of AI.

With the California Community Colleges being the most diverse higher education system in the country, it is our responsibility to ensure that each student is given accessible and personalized learning opportunities.

Fostering student success is paramount to achieving learning outcomes and student progression. Establishing rapport with students, instilling them with knowledge and expertise while guiding them through the learning experience is what faculty do best. Beyond this, what are additional ways an instructor can ensure the academic success of their students? Whatever measures are taken, they have to be sustainable for the instructor and effective – time is in too short of supply.

In this webinar, Associate Director of Learning Systems Support at Central Michigan University Marnie Roestel will showcase practical ways to help ensure the success of your students and foster engagement – all through the lens of a learner-centric course.

Preparing students to thrive in the business world by equipping them with cross-functional skills such as leadership, collaboration and communication lies at the heart of business education. Development of these skills relies heavily on maintaining an effective feedback loop among students, ensuring group accountability, and facilitating in-class discussions. However, this can be challenging as instructors often find themselves facing pedagogical problems such as free-riding in group work, low feedback quality, result-oriented assessment or learner disengagement.

This 45-min webinar aims to gather teachers and instructional designers from business schools in a panel discussion to share and exchange ideas on improving group dynamics and social loafing in team based education.
