Use institutional templates

Institutional templates are available to everyone at Monash. These templates have been pre-configured for a range of specific use cases which you can customise to fit your existing learning activities or use in an addition to your existing assessment regime. One of the benefits of using institutional templates is that your activity is well designed with robust evaluation metrics. When used across a degree they ensure a student develops a consistent understanding of good group participation.

Feedback has a powerful impact on student learning outcomes and significantly influences students’ satisfaction without significant impact on teacher workload. Peer feedback promotes learners’ critical thinking, problem-solving and self-regulation by providing students with examples as a frame of reference for their own work.

You can structure and scaffold your course to include continuous feedback activities, providing opportunities for students to receive constructive feedback, and then reflect and act on feedback. Consider how FeedbackFruits can augment or enhance existing learning activities in your assessment regime.

Evaluation of group members' teamwork View

This template can be implemented with any assessment where students are required to work together in a team to complete a task, assessment or project. By setting clear and explicit expectations around students' contribution in group work, this activity addresses the issue of free-riding and provides educators with insight into student group dynamics.

By default:

The Detect outlier feature has been enabled. This feature flags students based on different team dynamics, giving you insights into student group dynamics at a glance. For more information, see Detect outliers.
Group contribution grading has been enabled. This feature suggests individualised grade adjustments for students based on their peers’ evaluation of group member contributions. For more information, see Group contribution grading.

Considerations for using this template

Consider if students should give feedback anonymously or non-anonymously. Anonymous reviews can be beneficial for undergraduate students who are new to giving feedback to their peers, however non-anonymous reviews will model more realistic scenarios, such as the workplace. By default, anonymity has been enabled for this template.
Consider if students should review themselves based on the same criteria set. By default, student self-assessment has been enabled for this template.
Consider at what point in the teaching period you will implement this activity. While you can run it at the end of the assessment to adjust students’ grades, it may be beneficial to implement this activity earlier as a “temperature check” for group dynamics to identify any conflicts early and allow for students to develop strategies to improve their group work.
Consider if the AI Feedback Coach would be appropriate for your activity. This feature provides real-time tips to students when they provide feedback. This beta feature aims to coach students on how to write better feedback and improve the quality of the feedback given.

Peer review of live oral presentations View

This template can be implemented with any assessment where students are required to make an oral presentation, in groups or individually, for an audience of peers or an educator, examiner or external accreditor. This activity formalises the process of providing peer feedback during live presentations and enhances students’ engagement.

Where the final presentation is delivered to educators or external accreditors, this activity can be used as a “practice round”/rehearsal, providing students with the opportunity to practice, gain confidence in their presentation skills, receive constructive feedback and improve on their presentations before the final assessed task.

Considerations for using this template

Consider whether you will run the activity concurrent with the presentation, or as an additional activity prior to the presentation. This will determine whether students will be able to act on the feedback provided to them.
Consider if you will pre-allocate students into groups or allow students to self-select who they will provide feedback onto the day. Self-selection allows greater flexibility in a live scenario. By default, this template allows students to self-select peers to review.
For presentations that have been recorded and are not presented live, it is recommended that you use the Peer feedback on peers' submitted work template and enable file submission of videos.

Provide feedback on peers' submitted work View

This template can be implemented with any assessment task that requires written tasks or the submission of a unique deliverable, especially if the task is a major assessment.

By including a peer review step, students can critically review the work of peers and make comparisons between their own work, the work of their peers, and the assessment criteria to build an understanding of quality. Peer feedback is a mechanism for students to develop capability in understanding, interrogating and applying criteria and standards, enabling students to develop objectivity about applying standards, improving their ability to reflect and improve on their own work.

For major projects, the inclusion of a peer review activity also scaffolds the iteration of drafts and assists students in developing time management skills required to complete a major project.

Considerations for using this template

For major assessment tasks, if possible include multiple peer review activities throughout the semester before the final hand in date, spaced out to give students enough time in between to apply feedback and refine and improve on their final submission.
Consider if students should also be assessed on the quality of their feedback.
Consider if enabling the Automated Feedback on writing module would be appropriate for your activity. This module allows you to specify criteria (content and structure, academic language use, formatting, citations and references, and tables and figures) that you would like the work of your students to be checked upon. Students can then receive an additional layer of feedback as soon as they submit a file to the feedbackFruits activity.
Consider if enabling the AI Feedback Coach would be appropriate for your activity. This feature provides real-time tips to students when they provide feedback. This feature aims to coach students on how to write better feedback and improve the quality of the feedback given.
