Copyright and FeedbackFruits

FeedbackFruits (FbF) is education software with different task types accessible via Brightspace. Below you will find how to use FbF in compliance with copyright rules.

In a course a teacher can upload a document as a pdf in the task type FbF Interactive Document. This document will then be visible to all students registered for the course. The students can comment on the text in the document, see each other's comments and respond to each other. The teacher can also build in questions about the content.

Peer Review
Peer Review contains a set of tools that allow students to upload their own material, such as videos or podcasts. Subsequently, the teacher and/or fellow students can add comments.

You can use the following material in FbF without restrictions:

  • own unpublished work;
  • material made available with a Creative Commons license or other license permitting this use;
  • material in the public domain that is not (anymore) protected by copyright.

Copyright is not an issue here.
