FeedbackFruits offers a set of tools designed to help you create engaging courses. They can be used in both blended and online learning approaches. Staff can add a tool to their course in Blackboard, using the standard Add > Content Market workflow and choosing the FeedbackFruits tile.
When you launch the tool from Blackboard you’ll see a page that allows you to copy an existing activity or make a new one.
Assuming you have not created one before, select the option to Start from Scratch. That takes you to the full list of tools and their handy guide: Tooling Overview: Which tool is best for me?
If you haven’t used these tools before, we suggest you start with our Getting started guide or Decision Model.
Here is a full list of our guides for staff:
- Create a Self Assessment

- Create an Interactive Video
- Creating a Peer Review

FAQs
Yes. There are two ways to do that. The simplest is to use this link: https://app.feedbackfruits.com/ opens a new window to the analytics dashboard. If you are not already logged in to Blackboard and FeedbackFruits, it will ask for your email and then send you a “magic link” to take you straight in.
Once you are in the dashboard, select the Courses link under the heading INSIGHTS and then pick a course to see all the activity data.
In future the answer may be yes, but at the moment for us it is no. FeedbackFruits have a Turnitin integration option that is currently undergoing beta-testing. We have not enabled this feature (yet) during the pilot. If this is something that is key to your workflows, please get in touch with a member of DCAD.
