FeedbackFruits Interactive Document
Interactive Document is used with a document that students are expected to read. The teacher uploads the document and can add questions or discussion threads directly into it, allowing students to engage with the material as they read.
It can be used to promote active reading and support a better understanding of course material. It can also encourage preparation outside class by counting the activity towards participation marks, and it is particularly useful for material that students often find difficult or confusing.
Interactive Document can also be used to encourage critical thinking about specific topics and to give students opportunities to explore different perspectives and discuss the material with one another.
