What is the AI Feedback Analysis tool in Portflow?
The AI Feedback Analysis tool in Portflow provides an analysis and summary of the qualitative feedback received in the goal card.
As a student, you may have received a lot of feedback over time. This feedback can be collected at the level of evidence items, collections, and goals (progress reviews). All of this feedback, from the various involved perspectives, is brought together on the Feedback tab of the goal card. The AI Feedback Analysis tool analyzes all the feedback and summarizes it into tips and tops.
All data is processed confidentially and in accordance with applicable EU laws and regulations by Microsoft Azure in Sweden; see also the Trust Portal. Only information that is already included in the feedback is shown in the summary.
How can the AI Feedback Analysis tool be used?
The tool can be used by anyone who has access to the goal card. On the goal card, under the Feedback tab, the AI Analysis button is available, which generates a summary at the top of the goal card. Each time new feedback is added to the goal card, the summary can be regenerated using this button.
As a student, this analysis and summary gives you quick insight into your strengths (tops) and areas for improvement (tips), based on all the feedback you have received on a goal (learning-path-independent learning outcome, competency, personal goal, etc.).
A coach or workplace supervisor can use the tool to quickly gain insight into the feedback you have received, in preparation for coaching conversations.
An assessor or assessment committee can use the tool to quickly obtain structured input for assessment.
How can you make meaningful use of this tool?
The rise of generative AI is here to stay. In education, this has shifted the focus from discouraging and detecting (unauthorized) AI use to responsibly integrating generative AI into the curriculum.
Responsible integration means, among other things, that you as a student use this AI tool not as a replacement, but as support or a supplement—and therefore as an accelerator for learning. Make sure you continue to think for yourself and that you check, enrich, and give meaning to what the AI produces. The AI summary only provides an initial structuring; your own reflection on it remains leading.
To get as much value as possible from this tool, it is useful to plan follow-up activities based on the insights gained. The summary can help you quickly see the big picture, organize feedback into main and secondary issues, and move more quickly to action points. This supports your self-regulation, reflection, and feedback literacy. To use the summary effectively, you can, for example, link it to the following actions:
- First create your own summary and compare it with the AI-generated summary.
- Identify which point is not included in the summary but is important to you.
- Determine where you agree or disagree with the summary and why.
- Evaluate the AI summary for completeness, specificity, and accuracy (sufficient/insufficient).
Decide what you will do (and not do) with the summary and why. Also specify concrete action points and their priority.
