We had an amazing time welcoming our partners from education technology provider FeedbackFruits. Through our collaborative discussions, we discovered more opportunities for new interactive materials, self-assessment tools and ways to structure learning experiences.
It's been an absolute honor to visit FeedbackFruits Partner Institutions in Florida last week! From all the institutions we visited, a common theme stood out to me: The dedication of educators. So many are deeply committed to their students’ success, ensuring that learning is both impactful and meaningful, not just for future careers but for lifelong growth. A big thank you to University of South Florida, University of Florida, UF Lastinger Center for Learning, and Miami Dade College for such a warm welcome and engagement in the FeedbackFruits sessions. And of course, a BIG thank you to my wonderful colleagues Milou Maassen and Anirudh (Andy) Toshniwal for making these visits incredibly meaningful!

It is always amazing to work with such passionate professionals to help enhance student success! We appreciate the dedication and love for learning our training participants bring when collaborating within Communities of Practice (CoP), the classroom and beyond.
I had the pleasure of attending the Community of Practice (CoP) Training by UF Lastinger Center for Learning for three incredible days in #Orlando. I can't even begin to express how eye-opening this experience was! Not only did I gain a deeper understanding of the #CoP model, but I also built meaningful connections that I truly value. A huge thank you to Jaquanda Davis, Erin Branton, and Catrena Patrick for being such amazing teammates. You embodied exactly what collaboration should look like—supporting each other, sharing openly, and growing together. By the end of the training, it felt like we had known each other for years! That’s the power of this experience. I also want to recognize the incredible facilitators who exceeded my expectations—their energy, passion, and expertise made this training truly impactful. I’m excited to apply everything I’ve learned and to continue fostering these connections. If you ever have the chance to attend a CoP training, I highly recommend it! #CommunityOfPractice #ProfessionalGrowth #Collaboration #UFLastinger
