Like many other business schools, group work and peer assessment have been at the heart of pedagogy at Carlson School of Management. While group work helps foster collaborative learning and stimulates real world skills, peer and group feedback allows students to demonstrate deeper understanding of content and develop the ability to critically evaluate their peers.
Just under three years ago, FeedbackFruits was introduced to the Carlson team and they immediately saw the capacity that the tools had to offer. After half a year of training, exploring the tools, Tony and his team were ready to persuade the university to utilize FeedbackFruits.
At the School of Public Health, there has been a long-standing recognition of, and need for authentic assessment due to its great potential in cultivating a personalized, inclusive learning environment that nurtures real-life skills and student autonomy. With the rise of AI and mixed modality education, it has become more critical for the institution to implement this approach to maintain academic integrity.
To provide an authentic education that stimulates engagement and transfer of skills for a large number of students from diverse backgrounds, preferences, and domains, the School of Public Health has been actively seeking the appropriate technology that supports the implementation of authentic assessment. FeedbackFruits tool suite was then chosen due to its capacity to set up consistent evaluation rubrics, streamline peer/ group assessment in different modalities, and maintain oversight of student progress.
