Upcoming Feedbackfruits webinars 26 November 3 December

As part of the support for the onboarding of Feedbackfruits, a dedicated tool to support Peer Review and Contribution to Groupwork, we are running two webinars useful to those who are already using the tool and those who are interested in using the tool, but these people should still reach out to DEO before putting anything into practice for a consultation.

The sessions will be recorded. Please register to get a link to the recording.

We look forward to seeing you!

Questionmark upgrade, 4-7 August 2025

Questionmark will be upgrading our system on 4 August 2025. During the upgrade, the system will remain available but ‘at risk’. We don’t recommend using Questionmark between 4 and 7 August – this period will be used to carry out critical testing and configure the settings for the new system.

This upgrade introduces a new user interface for both staff and students, as well as enhanced functionality, including the Questionmark secure browser and Next Gen scheduling.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have any questions, please contact digital-education@bristol.ac.uk.
