The Discussion Assignment tool allows teachers to structure a meaningful online discussion. Students are asked to participate in the online discussion and to review the input of peers. In a more open environment, students can comment and upvote on all input. Once there is enough activity, teachers participate and guide the discussion.
A reflection moment is incorporated to increase a deeper understanding of students.

The tool provides detailed analytics on student participation in discussion assignments. The teacher can observe which student participated in discussions and see the engagement of their input received by their peers.
Teachers have extensive filtering and sorting options within the tool. They can quickly find relevant discussion input based on the tool's wide-range filtering and sorting options.
Teachers can combine discussion assignments with mandatory peer argument review. This way, students can receive formative feedback on their argumentation from their peers and get the learning benefits of both pedagogies.
The tool enables students to write a reflection on the reviews they get from their teacher on their discussion. This helps students to understand their improvement points better.

The AI-tool Automated Feedback on writing gives students instant feedback on the quality of academic writing in assignments, thesis, and other deliverables. Students improve their academic writing skills by receiving direct in-line feedback, resulting in more permanent and actionable learning. As importantly, the tool also reduces the time spent on assignment review for teachers, allowing them to reallocate their time on providing feedback on the content rather than the form.
This tool has been co-created following the Edtech Dotank process together with our partners.

We support various document, video, audio, image file types as well as website links and others.
While both are based on students' own work, peer review focuses on peers assessing the skill of peers based on criteria provided. Discussion Assignment, on the other hand, focuses on peers discussing the work of peers without specific criteria.
