All nine FeedbackFruits tools are now available in Brightspace (via the Existing Activities button). Over the next few months, we\u2019ll be spotlighting the different tools to help you explore practical ways to foster student-centred learning. First up: Interactive Document<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Interactive Document allows you to upload a text or PDF file\u2014such as your course syllabus\u2014and embed discussion prompts, multiple-choice questions or reflection cards directly into the document. This transforms passive reading into active engagement.<\/p>\n

Use Case: Syllabus Review<\/h3>\n

Start your course with intention by turning your syllabus into an interactive activity. Upload your syllabus and add question cards like, \u201cWhat are the penalties for late submissions?\u201d and \u201cWhen and where are office hours held?\u201d Students then respond individually or in discussion threads, helping to surface common misunderstandings and encourage proactive dialogue. You can even set requirements\u2014like starting two discussions and replying to two peers\u2014to support meaningful participation.<\/p>\n

This activity isn\u2019t limited to the start of term. Some instructors use the syllabus as a living document, allowing students to continue asking or answering questions throughout the course. Others revisit it at the end of the semester, prompting students to reflect on what changed, what could be clarified or what should be added next time.<\/p>\n

Whether you use it for syllabus engagement, reading check-ins or policy discussions, Interactive Document helps build a transparent, collaborative learning environment from day one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
