FeedbackFruits

Instructors or Students should NOT login directly to Feedback Fruits. You must login only through onQ.

If you have logged in directly to Feedback Fruits you will not get access to your activity. You will need to contact Feedback Fruits directly for support using the chat function in onQ.

FeedbackFruits is a suite of pedagogical tools that are designed to help engage students in their learning. The tool is fully integrated with onQ, Queen's University's learning management system, allowing instructors and course creators to design and manage activities, like peer reviews and peer evaluations, directly within the LMS. 

Benefits: 

  • Instructors can create and administer their own peer review and evaluation activities
  • Combines the functionality of tools like Aropa and Grasp into one easy-to-use solution
  • Allows students to submit their work anonymously for peer review
  • Allows students to review the work of their peers and evaluate the performance of teammates anonymously
  • Integrates with the onQ Gradebook

FeedbackFruits is turned on by default for all onQ courses, so you can get started using these tools as soon as you have your onQ course setup. For additional help with FeedbackFruits, visit their support site at https://help.feedbackfruits.com/en/.
