Teaching smarter, not harder: How to cut faculty workload and costs without compromising quality

Across higher education, a quiet crisis is growing. Faculty workloads are increasing, while budgets and support resources continue to shrink.

Instructors are spending more time grading, managing group projects, and handling course logistics than actually teaching. At the same time, institutions face pressure to do more with less: fewer tools, smaller budgets, and higher expectations for quality learning outcomes.

It’s no surprise that faculty burnout and student disengagement are rising together.

That’s why FeedbackFruits has launched two powerful, connected solutions: The Workload Reduction Bundle and the ROI Calculator, designed to help educators save time, institutions save money, and both achieve better teaching and learning outcomes.

‍

Doing more with fewer resources

Growing class sizes

As student-to-teacher ratios increase, instructors spend hours each week grading assignments, managing peer feedback, and organizing group activities. Personalized feedback, essential to assessment for learning, becomes harder to deliver.‍

Limited support services‍

With fewer assistants and course designers to help, educators have to do more paperwork and lesson planning themselves, making it harder to use interactive or problem-solving teaching methods

Tightening software budgets

Many institutions rely on multiple disconnected apps, which can be costly and complicated. When budgets tighten, educators risk losing the tools that help them create engaging, effective learning experiences.

Redefining teaching efficiency

At FeedbackFruits, we believe that technology should lighten the teacher’s load, not add to it. That’s why we created the Workload Reduction Bundle: a collection of seven interactive learning activities that automate grading, feedback, and collaboration within one unique learning system.

This bundle is part of the customized pedagogy solution, designed to make effective teaching, learning design, and course creation faster, easier, and more impactful.

AI that works for educators, not instead of them

The bundle is powered by Acai, FeedbackFruits’ pedagogical AI designed specifically for educators.

Acai assists in grading, content creation, and student engagement, all aligned with evidence-based teaching methodologies.

It helps automate tasks like:

• Suggesting rubric scores and personalized comments
  
• Improving peer feedback quality
  
• Creating active prompts in your LMS
  
• Providing students with self-reflection and feedback coaching
  
  

With AI managing the repetitive parts, teachers can focus on high-impact teaching and learning.
