Dr. Stacey MacKinnon of the University of Prince Edward Island transformed her classroom feedback process by integrating the RISE Model with AI through the Stemble platform. With 250+ first-year students, providing detailed, individualized feedback was challenging. The RISE Model—Reflect, Inquire, Suggest, Elevate—was embedded into the AI platform, enabling scalable, high-quality peer feedback. Students improved their critical thinking and feedback skills while receiving consistent, actionable insights. The integration demonstrated the RISE Model's impact beyond education, with students applying it in real-world scenarios. This innovative combination offers a scalable, structured approach to meaningful feedback in higher education.

The International Federation of the Red Cross (IFRC) integrated the RISE Model into their Limitless program to mentor over 10,000 youth addressing local climate challenges worldwide. By adopting the RISE framework for meaningful feedback, which was translated into 11 languages, the IFRC supported the development of 100 innovation leads. These mentors used RISE to facilitate structured, impactful feedback, fostering idea development and collaboration across diverse cultural contexts. The initiative empowers young innovators with essential skills to tackle climate change, underscoring the global importance of meaningful feedback in social innovation.
