FeedbackFruits, since our foundation in 2012, is dedicated to supporting educators to improve and enhance education quality with innovative pedagogical technology. Since the introduction of mass-scale online learning during the pandemic, we have made a great effort to assist universities, instructors, and teachers in creating the best learning experience for both learners and educators. Even after the gradual return to in-person learning, FeedbackFruits remains the single-integration solution to pedagogical challenges faced by higher education institutions worldwide. While returning to face-to-face teaching, coupled with online delivery methods, our mission has also become to assist educators in scaling the positive impact of pedagogy–technology integration.
