FeedbackFruits Automated Feedback
Purpose
Automated Feedback allows teachers to provide formative feedback on academic writing based on criteria they define. Students can revise and resubmit their work multiple times, receiving automated feedback each time until they submit the final version.
The feedback can include direct corrections, inline comments, suggestions, and praise. Teachers can use ready-made templates such as Research Paper, Case Study, Thesis, and Essay, either as they are or as a starting point for further adaptation. It is also possible to build a custom template from scratch and define criteria such as spelling, grammar, writing style, and referencing.
Automated Feedback can be combined with Peer Review and Assignment Review. A teacher can also start by creating an Automated Feedback activity and later add peer review or assignment review to the same activity.
