The Purpose of Feedback

The purpose of feedback is to give students an appraisal of performance.

Many times this feedback is to help the student improve performance of a specific

skill or improve knowledge. Effective feedback can help the student

realize areas of great performance and areas on which to improve.

Online Class Feedback

Online feedback is vital to the success of student.

This can redirect them to where the proper information is so they can relearn the objective.

It can provide praise and confidence for many students and give a feeling of success.

Types of Feedback

Dropbox - Specific to student - Overall class feedback Quiz - Specific to question - Remediation answer key Discussion - Left in the forum itself - Specific to a student in the gradebook

Dropbox feedback

Feedback in the dropbox can be helpful when very specific to a concept.

Items with multiple steps or submissions can but dated with items that have been checked, things that are still missing and overall progress and accuracy. Example below-

4 part submission projectExcellent start to this project! Only 3 more steps!2/4- 2 mores steps! Your calories seem pretty low on these.2/5- Awesome job on these submissions! The only step you are

missing is #4. It was suppose to be a graph of your results. Good job on this! 25 pts off

Missing assignment feedback

The dropbox is a great area to leave feedback about a missing assignment. Here are some examples-

5/5- Jason, I did not receive a submission for this assignment. You can receive partial credit until 5/10. Please submit ASAP so you can earn partial credit. I miss seeing your creative work!

Missing assignment feedback Here is another example- No entry for this assignment. Partial credit

given until 5/10. Please refer to GAVS late policy below-

Many times the visual reminder is what it takes to get the work in.

Have your tried Audio Feedback? This is a great way to leave a personal

message for students. You can include music and other formats to jazz it up.

Look at the graphic below-

Accommodation Feedback It is helpful to note items accepted after the

due date due to accommodations or a re grade due to accommodations.

This is helpful for your DC or your QAS.

Rubric Feedback

Using a rubric is an excellent way to give detailed feedback for a particular project or complicated assignment.

Many of the new courses provide rubrics for students. This can set the expectations for the assignment.

Creative Feedback

Many times students enjoy seeing animated clipart in the feedback area. You can do this a few different ways-

Insert saved files from your computer using animation factory or other free sites

Create a power point slide with different points of reference and save it or screen shot it.

Create a cartoon on toondoo or another site and insert that image.

Examples of Creative Feedback Amazing job on this quiz! Looks like you

understand the elements of good nutrition!

Examples of Creative Feedback I really enjoyed the information you shared

about your diet. It seems like you have a well balanced plan. I would love to see you incorporate a little more fruit. How about cucumbers?

Power Point Stamps

Acceleration

Feedback is a great opportunity to accelerate a lesson. Here are some ideas-

Link an appropriate article or website Attach a copy of an accelerated lesson or

article Insert a question or formula in the feedback

area that they can respond to via email.

Remediation

Feedback is also a good time to remediate. Giving students extra reading resources,

linking brain pop quizzes, and resources within the course can help.

A teacher can also explain a concept by attaching a document, basically re teaching the concept

Lastly, a teacher can attach the answer sheet to the feedback area for extra help.

Quiz Feedback

Feedback on quizzes can often be one of the more time consuming types of feedback.

Choose the most commonly missed questions (use analytics tool here) and create a master sheet for those. That allows you to copy and paste in the items.

Linking back to the content where is the answer is would be helpful as well.

Discussion

Often times, the discussion area is a great way to show praise for student work. Student enjoy getting a compliment in front of their peers.

Example- Rachel- Your explanation of Georgia’s graduated license program is an excellent example of the benefits of this program. I appreciate you taking the time to create a thoughtful response which also included no grammar or spelling issues.

Discussion

This is also a great area to help remediate a discussion posting. Attaching additional resources to a forum or posting part of an article or information from a website is helpful

Example- Richard- I am so glad you are off to a good start in the class. I would love to see more of your thoughts in this discussion area. If you have trouble formulating a response, here is some additional information that might help. I would love to see you earn full credit on this assignment. ( link article or website here)

Announcement Feedback

A neat way to provide feedback (praise) is a conditional release of an announcement.

Video Note- This is a great way to provide very personal feedback. You can create a personal announcement and dress up like a character from history or an exercise g`uru for personal fitness class.

In conclusion…..

I believe that to make the online environment engaging and successful, we have to

personalize the experience. Giving quality feedback to students can help

elevate their experience.

We have to make sure that each student has the best possible experience that GAVS has

to offer!!!
