The post-pandemic shift to online and hybrid learning has left many higher education institutions facing the persistent challenge of maintaining learner engagement and instructional quality at scale. Instructional designers and academic leaders often struggle with fragmented tools, limited faculty bandwidth and discontinuous learning paths, which undermine the coherence and effectiveness of the learning experience.
This session explores how FeedbackFruits' suite of pedagogical activities can help institutions design more active, inclusive, and feedback-rich learning experiences, especially in asynchronous and remote contexts.
Grounded in widely adopted approaches such as constructive alignment, active learning, and social constructivism, Learning Activities such as Peer Review and Interactive Study Materials assist educators in facilitating online group work and enable them to embed moments of reflection, peer dialogue, and formative feedback directly within course materials. This allows for deeper engagement while supporting autonomy and accessibility, without adding complexity to the teaching workflow.
A key focus will be a case study from the American College of Greece, where instructional designers integrated FeedbackFruits into the design of online courses to transform passive content into interactive learning journeys. The result: increased student participation, improved learning outcomes, and a more cohesive digital learning environment that supports both faculty and learners.
