Feedback as Relationship-Building Pedagogy

A screenshot from the slide deck for the session titled "Using Audio Feedback to Respond to Student Writing"
This session was held 2 November, 2023. Join colleagues from across the university to share best practices for giving students feedback that fulfills RSI (regular and substantive interaction) requirements for UAF courses. We will hear from 4 faculty and 2 students about how they understand and approach feedback in their courses, and consider tensions that form our feedback practices, including the need to be efficient in responding to student work and the drive to connect with students through discussion of their work.

Providing feedback in Blackboard two ways

Building a rubric can help you determine how–or if–an assignment aligns to your course objectives. Once built, you may use it to frame your feedback. Sharing the specifics with students prior to task assignment helps focus their efforts. Your students may not know about the wealth of information provided by clicking on the link, “View Rubric.'

A few notes on the iPad Pro

Like many of you, I still use a mix of analog and digital tools in my teaching practice. I use an old fashioned notebook and pen to keep up with ideas and to-do’s. Things like note taking, providing feedback on papers, and screencasting have all been awkward for me until now. The iPad Pro is broadening my options for practices that involve handwriting or drawing.

Verbal feedback?

If your students are using Google Docs for any portion of their assignments, you can teach them how to provide peer feedback verbally using the Google Docs Add-on Kaizena Mini. You can also use this product yourself to guide your student through changes you would like to see in their written work.
