FeedbackFruits Discussion on Work
Purposse
Discussion helps deepen students’ understanding of course material and encourages communication, collaboration, and critical thinking.
In Discussion on Work, students submit an assignment and then discuss the submitted work. The teacher decides how many submissions each student should respond to, and the activity can also include an open discussion stage where students can view all submissions and join a wider discussion. The teacher can take part and guide the conversation.
The activity can be set up for individual or group work, with discussion taking place within groups or across groups. Grading can be divided into components or omitted entirely.
