Interactive Document

Turn passive reading into active learning

Without interaction, PDFs, presentations, and research papers can become passive learning experiences, with students reading without stopping to question, reflect, or apply what they are learning. Interactive Document gives every reading structure: questions, prompts, and annotations, with AI assistance and analytics built to make active reading easier to scale.

I think this works better than the Forum in Moodle. Students don’t engage like this is discussion content in Moodle, but they do in FeedbackFruits.

 Turn reading into a better learning experience
for everyone

Icon

For students

Read
with purpose

Questions, annotations, and reflection give students a reason to slow down and engage with what they're reading. They can question ideas, make connections, and test their understanding as they work through the material.
Icon

For instructors

See beyond whether students opened the file

A document being accessed doesn't mean it was understood. Student responses and engagement give instructors insight into how learners are interacting with the material and where they may need support.
Icon

For institutions

Turn existing content into
active learning

Build active engagement into the readings and resources already used across courses. This gives institutions a more consistent way to move beyond passive content consumption without requiring every course to start from scratch.
