Pilot

SPA4504 is a small master's course in Spanish studies, typically with 3–6 students, culminating in a term paper. Course teacher Alvaro Llosa Sanz used Feedback Fruits across three rounds of peer review during spring 2024, covering different stages of the students' writing process: a research project outline, a draft of the term paper, and a final revision stage.

Exphil (Exam Philosophicum) is a mandatory introductory course in the philosophy of science taken by students across all faculties at the University of Oslo. Three seminar groups from the Faculty of Humanities (HF) participated in the autumn 2023 pilot, making Exphil the most thoroughly documented use case in the project — and the one that most directly tested Feedback Fruits under live, real-time conditions.

BIOS1130 is an introductory biochemistry course at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences with approximately 125 enrolled students. Course teacher Hans-Petter Hersleth brought substantial prior experience to the spring 2024 pilot, having previously tested both Peer Grade and Canvas' built-in peer review tool. BIOS1130 is therefore particularly valuable as a point of comparison between platforms.

KONS3061 is a bachelor's course in conservation studies, typically enrolling 20–25 students. Course teacher Douwtje Lieuwkje van der Meulen joined the spring 2024 pilot looking for a tool that would allow her to conduct peer review in a time-effective manner. She used Feedback Fruits for two different assignments: a draft of the term paper, and a written reflection on an article from the course reading list.

IN1020 is a first-semester course at the Department of Informatics, University of Oslo, with over 500 enrolled students each autumn. In the autumn of 2023, the course became the central pilot site for testing Feedback Fruits as a peer review tool, and simultaneously served as the setting for a controlled study comparing three different forms of formative assessment feedback.

HIS3090 is a course at the Faculty of Humanities designed around the process of writing a bachelor's thesis in history. With approximately 90 students, the course involves two mandatory group sessions where students present their work and give feedback on fellow students' drafts. Feedback Fruits was introduced in spring 2024 to replace a cumbersome manual distribution process that had created recurring logistical problems.
