One of the keys to engaging online learners and facilitating critical thinking is providing students with timely, meaningful, and actionable feedback.

Webinar: Providing Effective Student Feedback

Good feedback is:

• Timely
• Instructional
• Consistent

Good feedback also:

• Highlights a specific knowledge or skill
• Focuses on thinking (not writing mechanics)
• Moves a student’s work forward
• Provides a model or example
• Invites the student to give the instructor feedback
• Encourages the student to ask for the kind of feedback s/he needs
