Teamwork development through self and peer assessment 

This session explains the Self and Peer Review of Teamwork Skills strategy, developed in the Faculty of Science Engineering and Built environment (SEBE). Supporting and encouraging the development of student teamwork skills for the world of work. Students develop evaluative judgement skills against predefined standards next to their skills in giving, receiving and reflecting on feedback. Using Group Contribution Grading for the individualization of team marks.

From online case studies to group evaluations in workgroups

In the Introduction to Management course, students are asked to prepare a case study before coming to their workgroup meetings each week. This has now been altered to a completely online format, where students are required to prepare the case study using Interactive Document, with guiding questions. During their workgroup meetings via Zoom, students work together in smaller groups to discuss the case study whilst simultaneously using Group Member Evaluation to review each other.

The road to student satisfaction is built by developing peer feedback skills: A FeedbackFruits Story

A Learning Designer’s experience transforming a problematic 2nd year paramedic unit with low student satisfaction and excessive failure rates. With the help of interactive and peer feedback tools this unit is now a flagship in the College.

Participation and engagement gets a boost!

Not only did participation and engagement with materials increase, but students were able to demonstrate understanding contextually within the document and video.

Leveraging discussion formats online

Together with MITx, FeedbackFruits created the Discussion Assignment tool. This tool enables online discussions, using a combination of assigned and open discussion all students participating will start and receive discussions on their deliverables. MITx uses this tool for different MicroMasters as well as MOOCs on edX.

Gathering the Feedback Fruits in large-cohort group-work

In her first trimester course for commencing students, Dr Baird runs a structured group assessment where each group of 4 - 6 was assigned a person of importance across the main health disciplines and a poster created on their contribution. In 2020, we used Feedback Fruits to facilitate the peer assessment portion of the assessment.

Automated feedback on deliverables

The Erasmus University Rotterdam, Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences and the R&D department of FeedbackFruits have joined forces to create a new tool called Automated Feedback. This tool, powered by Artificial Intelligence, enables students to receive formative feedback on their academic writing skills based on criteria set by teachers. Co-creator, Wilco te Winkel (EUR), will join us to explain the process and first results.
