Online discussions often lack structure and meaningful engagement
Online discussions can enhance learning, but without clear guidance, they often become unstructured and superficial, with repetitive comments and limited interaction. Students struggle to engage deeply or provide constructive feedback, leading to surface-level participation. Instructors find it time-consuming to moderate discussions, ensuring they stay on topic and contribute to learning goals.
Discussions eliminates these challenges by structuring conversation flows, guiding students with targeted prompts, and providing analytics to track participation and engagement. This ensures purposeful dialogue and reduces instructor workload.

Learn how top institutions are transforming feedback through Discussions
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.

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.
