Feedback is very important even when not in a face to face class, if not even more important
Feedback is not a justifcation for the grade that is given, but needs to be objective driven. The steps to peer evaluation within specific perameters is helpful for students to help each other improve their assessments prior to turning in.
I have learned that student feedback does not have to be limited to text in the online environment. Audio and video feedback can be extremely useful to students to refocus their answers.
Students can learn a lot from the feedback that teachers give. By providing a clear rubic, students understand the expectations of the course.
I learned that feedback is important to individualize and give frequently.
It's important to remember how formative assessments drive our instruction.
In think I need to look into the peer feedback as a tool that helps two students at once.
This module was especially good. The goal is to make the learning meaningful for all learners. Formative assessment embedded in the learning assists the instructor and students to increase learning. The summative assessments and various approaches to feedback give an objective way to create relationships within the learning community. In addition, it has a facet which is more controlled and objective than F2F learning. Classmates can truly provide tutoring without revealing identity or removing dignity from a tutee. In addition, there are technical ways in which to provide support other than written comments. This is vital for special needs students and the manner in which they need feedback.
To View the assessment as a way to judge not only what the students have learned, but also how well you have taught the content of the course. I have always taken this stance. Its my role and goal as the teacher, to make sure my assessments are "real" in relation to the working world requirments and practices.
There are many different ways to provide feedback both via formative and summative assessment. Both should be used. Students need to have feedback during the process of learning as well as at the end. Feedback should be done in an objective manner with rubrics as well as in a variety of forms such as auditory and visual
One thing stood out to me about feedback, it is not meant to justify the grade but to improve student learning. Rubrics ensure all students are graded the same, it also makes it easier for a student to see areas where they can improve.
For me I like the idea of peer feedback using the rubric. I feel that will assist with higher quality productss from the students
I've learned about the multiple applications of rubrics.
I learned the importance of assessment.
This section on provided a lot of good tips for teaching in general, regardless of whether you are in a physical classroom situation or teaching an online coures somewhere. There were very good, clear, concise defintions of formative and summative assessments (better than most I've read locally). There were a lot of good tips about creating and using rubrics as well as self-assessment and peer-assessments. Overall, whatever person or team that wrote and constructed this section knew what they were doing, had real-world experience doing it and they did an excellent job communicating timely and valuable information. Thank-you!
It is very important to give feedback to students. It is best to give immediate feedback like in an assessment when a student gets a question wrong giving the explaniation in the test for what the correct answer is. Verbal feedback is important and can be done in video, verbal chat, or phone calls. This will allow for some human contact and build the relationship.
Feedback is totally needed and should be encouraged between students and instructor.
Feedback is crucial and can take place anytime in many forms during the learning process.
The assessment comes in many forms, each of which can provide the student with a specific value. Using an assessment as a learning tool (formative, self, and peer) provides students with a better understanding of the subject-matter, varying perceptions and interpretations of the material, and new and creative ways to engage with the content. Summative assessment reflect the quality and depth of knowledge attained. In concert, these provide a powerful feedback loop that serves to improve outcomes.
