Self-reflection is often shallow, unstructured, and hard to assess.
Self-assessment helps students develop critical thinking and self-awareness, but without guidance, reflections are often shallow and lack meaningful insights. Students struggle to evaluate their own work, leading to vague responses that don’t support growth. Instructors find it challenging to assess self-reflections consistently, adding to their workload and making it difficult to measure learning outcomes.
Self Assessment eliminates these challenges by providing structured prompts, clear criteria, and guided reflection activities, ensuring deeper insights and consistent evaluation. This fosters meaningful self-reflection while simplifying assessment for instructors.

Facilitate individual and peer self-assessment
Change the type of self-assessment activity from individuals reviewing their own work/skills to students reviewing their work/skills as a group if it is a group activity.
Customize criteria and rubrics
Structure and customize self-assessment criteria with options such as qualitative feedback criteria, scales, or rubrics.
Configure grading options

Learn how top institutions are transforming feedback through Self-Assessment
Using FeedbackFruits for the first time made the entire process significantly easier

With a lovely tool like FeedbackFruits, you can have things like feedback banks and audio feedback. We can really kind of scale up our approach.
Abby Osbourne

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.

It was the first time I encountered a tool (FeedbackFruits) that has this powerful foundational approach. And at this time, I knew that we could truly create something impactful with it.
