FeedbackFruits
FeedbackFruits is turned on by default for Interactive Video, Audio and Document. For any other functionalities, a request needs to be sent to teaching-support@tudelft.nl. Please note these requests need to be approved by the course manager or faculty mandate.
You need to request the addition of other functionalities for each new course and/or quarter. These functionalities are not added to your course automatically if you used them in a previous course!
FeedbackFruits offers tools that enable you to make interactive content, give instant feedback to students both during and after lectures, and allows students to discuss and share course material. Developed by TU Delft students, this tool is ideal for engaging your students with the course content, making them actively involved in discussions and feedback. Feedbackfruits is integrated with Brightspace Grades and Brightspace Groups are synchronised into Feedbackfruits for ease of use.
How to add FeedbackFruits to your course
Once FeedbackFruits has been made active in your course, go to the Content-tab, click on Existing activities and then choose it from the list of tools available. Further instructions on how to link the needed tools to your course can be found in this page, here.

When setting up your course, make sure to read the FeedbackFruits support website. They give detailed information on how to set up the tool and choices you need to make to properly set up the chosen tool. Take the following into account:
- After changing users and groups in Brightspace, make sure to open the FeedbackFruits tool again, so groups can be synchronised properly.
- Preferably, don’t make changes to groups that are in active Feedbackfruits assignments. If you do need to make changes, make sure the end result is what you intended, i.e. make sure to check the grades properly.
- If you make changes to an assignment or to results, make sure the correct grades are published to Brightspace. Republish the grades after making changes in Brightspace.
- The FeedbackFruits support page has many really good support articles. We advise you to check their site and read the articles about the tools you are setting up. Two specific articles you should not miss:
Which tool is most suitable for me?
FeedbackFruits made a decision tree to help you find the tool that best suit your needs.
The TU Delft does not have ‘Discussion assignment’ and ‘Comprehension’ as they are still under development. The ‘Interactive presentation’ is not integrated in Brightspace.
