Ignite Learning: Feedback for Learning

Assessment, Assignment Design, Motivation, Student Engagement

At the heart of the matter, learning requires instructors to provide feedback. Yet, instructors often struggle with figuring out when to give feedback, what types of feedback work best in different situations/settings, and how best to frame feedback so students are more likely to take action to improve their learning and/or the quality of their deliverable. In this Zoom session, we explore these areas with the dual purpose of leveraging the valuable time of instructors in ways that will likely lead to learning. Format: 30 minute info Session followed by an optional Q+A session
