Engagement Tools: 5 tools to stimulate an engaging learning community with online discussion, interactive presentation and team-based learning activities.

• Shared libraries: Collaborative spaces where teachers and learning designers can manage and organize their rubric and activity templates on a personal or institutional level.
• Collaboration options: FeedbackFruits activities can be set up for students to work individually or as groups easily with automatic synchronization of VLE/LMS groups.
• Feedback criteria options: When using FeedbackFruits assessment tools, the teacher can select the type of criteria they would like students to use when giving feedback. It is possible to use a combination of a rubric, scale rating criteria and ungraded comment criteria.

• Reflection step: Optionally the teacher can add a reflection step to a FeedbackFruits activity for students to reflect on their performance and feedback they received.
