Keeping your classroom organized and your students engaged can be challenging\u2014especially in these times of remote and hybrid learning. With lots of ways to help you focus on what matters most, Microsoft Teams is a great foundation wherever you\u2019re teaching. And tools from Microsoft Education partner FeedbackFruits can help take your online classes and lectures to the next level.<\/p>

With research-based pedagogical tools co-created by educators, the FeedbackFruits Tool Suite<\/a><\/strong> builds on the capabilities of both your learning management system (LMS) and Teams. FeedbackFruits Tool Suite<\/strong><\/a> of nine tools, which serves grades from K-12 to university level, has a similar look and feel to Teams, making the tools easy to learn and use for both educators and students.<\/p>

Fully integrated with Microsoft Teams<\/h3>

For Jeroen Mulder, I-Coach at Nova College in the Netherlands, there\u2019s a big benefit to the Teams integration with FeedbackFruits. \u201cI\u2019ve noticed that once teachers learn how to use the tool, they find it quite simple to use in daily lessons,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd students are no longer required to remember various passwords, sites, and where to find learning materials, removing one boundary in learning for students.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cWith this integration we can enhance learning and teaching and truly augment the existing experience in Microsoft Teams,\u201d added Marina Brinkman-Staneva, a senior lecturer at Breda University of Applied Sciences. \u201cAs a result, the digital classroom becomes more than just a place to meet.\u201d<\/p>

No more one-way lectures<\/h3>

With FeedbackFruits, recorded lectures allow students to set their own pace and save teachers time, while inline questions and discussions boost interaction and stimulate peer-to-peer learning. Just as important, you can monitor the conversations and lend your expertise.<\/p>

Students can also review each other\u2019s work in Teams, which can help them develop teamwork skills and improve the quality of group assignments. Educators can also gain in-depth insights on students\u2019 learning progress and address issues with contributions to group assignments.<\/p>

For Mulder, using Teams with FeedbackFruits was a great way to engage his classroom. \u201cThe students seem to be more engaged because the videos and presentations are more interactive,\u201d he said. \u201cThis stimulates active learning, which helps students in gaining, remembering, and applying new knowledge and skills.\u201d<\/p>
