Communicating for Results

Public

Ask a question from your peers to help you in your professional work. Seek different points of view on a topic that interests you. Start a thought-provoking conversation about a hot, current topic. Encourage your peers to join you in the discussion, and feel free to facilitate the discussion. As a community of educators, all members of the Career Ed Lounge are empowered to act as a discussion facilitator to help us all learn from each other.

Feedback for online students

Hi, My name is Linda and I am an online college instructor. My students are given topics to address within the forum and some writing assignments. I find it effective to be specific in clearly articulating what students have done well and how they can improve. It doesn't work well to simply state: "Nice work", The student needs to know what they have done well and how they can improve. Thanks, Linda

Feedback for Tutoring With Students

I work as a tutor for several classes at the 2-4 year college where I work. When I work with a student I prefer to use the elaborative style of feedback. I feel it helps the student to not only to receive a positive or negative feed back but helps to explain why that answer is so which provide details that may help for future memory. Sometimes when I use this type of feedback with incorrect answers, the students will understand the mistake from the helpful information I try to provide and evetually are able to determine the correct answer… >>>

Five Types Of Feedback

I'm an instructor at a two year technical college and was motivated by the tutorial to do research on the finer details of feedback. One item I found that was helpful was the five types of feedback listed by Fleming and Levie in their textbook [ISBN 0877782539]. You can find more information in the Feedback listing of Wikipedia.org
