• Students reflecting on their performance of in-class preparation

• Individual or group assessment
• Adding customizable rubrics or criteria options
• Configurable grading

"What I've learned over the few years being involved - you shouldn’t be limited to the current technology, you should always be looking to push that boundary. If you have a need, that need can be met. You just have to voice that to someone like FeedbackFruits so they understand what it is." - Tiffany Gunning (Senior Lecturer from Deakin University)

"I am using FeedbackFruits as I needed a platform that allows students to work together in a very easy way." - Peter Linde (Teacher from University of Utrecht)
