@lettgo583 I like it a lot! In the Spring semester we had nearly 1500 unique students using it in 18 different engineering courses, mostly for the group member evaluation tool. Also some peer review, which we're expanding into next year. Most people find the UI to be very intuitive, and the 24/5 help is great, so I only spend an hour or two per month troubleshooting. There's an initial learning curve, but we have folks who've used it for 2-3 semesters now. It shifts some instructor time from administrative figuring out who rated whom and averaging things to being able to quickly identify which groups or students might be struggling. And I think it will be useful for our ABET documentation of the teamwork outcome, especially in design courses where students work on semester-long (or longer) projects.
Overall student response has been positive. They like the ability to give and receive anonymous feedback. Students have been generally good about providing constructive criticism. (Students can flag harmful comments--to my knowledge this hasn't happened yet. And we've provided a resource about how to report and how to escalate if needed.)
We're pairing the rollout with faculty development opportunities for thinking about the structure of group work and thoughtful design of group assignments. Just like with any tool it's important to have a quality rubric/rating scale and clear instructions for students. We also consult with instructors about how to design assignments using FeedbackFruits.
The LTI integration is great. Canvas groups get synced into FeedbackFruits, and grades get pushed back to the Canvas gradebook with very few issues, and that's stress-testing it with some courses over 200 students, over 50 groups, and large teams of collaborating instructors.
