Assessment

Assess students for skills without any hassle using FeedbackFruits

What is authentic assessment?

Authentic assessment is an assessment approach that focuses on measuring students’ success in skill-relevant and real-life situations. According to Defining and measuring authentic assessment: a case study in the context of tertiary science: “Authentic assessment requires students to engage with a problem or task that is contextualized within a realistic environment and assesses the knowledge skills and attitudes required in the workplace community and for lifelong learning.”

To facilitate successful authentic assessment, instructors need to:

  • Present students with a realistic, and cognitively complex problem
  • Set clear learning goals to be achieved when completing the activity
  • Create plenty of opportunities for collaboration using approaches like team-based learning, project-based learning, and more.
  • Integrate both formative and summative assessment moments
  • Encourage continuous feedback and self-reflection opportunities

How can FeedbackFruits help you?

Whether you ask students to prepare a research paper, come up with a business proposal, do a case study, record a podcast or present a topic in the classroom, FeedbackFruits has a solution to assess them based on your learning objectives.

You can give feedback to students' work and skills using Assignment Review or Skill Review, put their written work through an AI-powered writing check using Automated Feedback, have them review each other's work and group contribution using Peer Review and Group Member Evaluation, or have them assess their own work or skills with Self Assessment.

Easy and scalable assessment setup without manual work

FeedbackFruits puts an end to complicated and time-consuming assessment processes. Instructors can easily configure an assessment activity with only a few clicks.

All FeedbackFruits tools integrate to major LMSs such as Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle and Brightspace. While seamless LMS integration allows for automatic sync of LMS gradebook, teachers can design rubrics with custom criteria and scale ratings, which can be exported and shared across faculties.
