FeedbackFruits: Realtime learning in writing assignments
Turner's Jeroen Visscher takes part in the NLAIC, a public-private cooperation that supports and connects AI initiatives. He leads the Education work group, working on various initiatives several AI-projects that benefit both students and teachers. One of these is the project of FeedbackFruits. This Edtech scale-up offers an AI solution that automatically gives feedback on their writing to higher education students. This should reduce the workload of teachers and improve students’ understanding. One of the key question is whether the tool actually reduces the workload of lecturers. This is what we are working on in the Education work group.
FeedbackFruits: Realtime learning in writing assignments
Within the Education working group, we are working on various initiatives that tie in with this. A good example is Feedback Fruits. This Edtech scale-up offers an AI solution that automatically gives feedback on their writing to higher education students. This should reduce the workload of teachers and improve students’ understanding.
Deployment of Artificial Intelligence
FeedbackFruits’ solution is a tool that provides students with automated formative feedback on their academic writing skills. This feedback consists of simple corrections, as well as suggestions and compliments. Students can continuously improve and adapt their assignments before submitting a final version to their tutor.
What challenge does it solve?
The underlying system works with success criteria for the writing assignment, that are compiled by the teacher. These include criteria for content, language, layout, references and figures and tables. As students receive immediate and real-time feedback, they hand in a version that is already one step further. This would reduce the workload of lecturers.
The Education Working Group wants to further refine this solution. An important question is whether the tool actually reduces the workload of lecturers. Because the working group consists of participants from the ‘quadruple helix’ (such as education, research, government, business, social organisations and citizens), we can reach the right people to help answer this research question.
Parties involved
This AI solution is developed in cooperation with Erasmus University and the Hogeschool van Rotterdam as part of the Education Do-Tank. This is a partnership that FeedbackFruits set up to work on educational innovation together with various parties from the education sector.
