Communicate 4.1.1 – Evaluation Methods and Communication Practices Quest
- How do communication practices in the online environment correlate to effective feedback? Open, honest and authentic communication is a critical part of the online educational world. Educators must make sure to provide constructive feedback on assignments in a timely manner. Discussion board posts should always be repsonded to by the instructor. Feedback- positive and constructive suggestions should be shared on all assignments posted online. Instructors should do this as soon as possible so students are able to get feedback and back adjustments if they are not on track with assignments.
- Why is authentic feedback important for online learners? Authentic feedback is "real" and "quality" feedback to share with your students. This provides students with more than a gold star, sticker, thumbs up, smiley face or GOOD JOB. It gives students specific details that were correct, on target or needs help with. If assignments are authentic then authentic feedback is much easier to manage and give to your students. To make feedback even more authentic- teachers should have students give each other feedback and teach them how to give feedback positive and negative!
- In what ways might an instructor enrich a student’s online experience through feedback? Online learning can be enriched in many capacities, but offering authentic feedback can help to make this experience even more valuable for students. Self-reflection is another avenue for online classes to explore. Self-reflection in any class can help students to ownership for their learning and really helps them to see their strengths and weaknesses.
