The intent of feedback builds student learning capacity or hinders the capacity. The instructor is key to the outcome.
In this module I learned about meaningful assessessements. Assessments should have formal assessments imbeded in the lessons and summative feedback. Clear instructions and a rubric help for proper assessment. When grading a teacher also needs to provide clear and meaningful feeback.
This part of the course was very imformative. Rubrics are very imprortant with discussion boards and written assignments. They let the student know the expectations of the assignment.
Providing meaniful feedback is one of my favorite things. I feel like this time opens up communitcation between you and the student. And when you do it appropriately then the student actually learns from what you are teaching!
Providing feedback connected to objectives, is specific, and individualized guides students to enhanced learning skills. Rubrics are also necessary for fair grading practices and allows students to see what is expected of them.
Both Formative and summative assessments are needed for online learning. Clearly defined rubrics are importnant when assessing.
Giving your students meaningful, constructive, positive feedback in a variety of ways is very important and should happen on a regular basis.
I never considered the use of rubrics in regard to each specific objective.I'm anxious to try that in the next online class that I develop.
What have you learned from this module and how do you intend to apply it?
I didn't necessarily "learn" anything new from this, but became more aware of the importance of having rubrics developed that show the students what they need to know and learn from the lesson objectives.
Creating rubrics and self-assessment techniques to allow the individual to self-correct and self-educate which will remove the burden from the instructor.
I really learned the difference between summative and formative assessment. I knew the difference to a slight degree, but this helped me to understand it even better. Also learned ways to create a rubric. I will practice making a rubric, it is one of my challenges.
I learned the importance of having various types of assessments: formative, summative, self and peer assessments. Providing effective feedback gives the students valuable information to enhance their learning and performance in the course.
I have learned that feedbacks to students should be specific and not generic, and is veri important in the learning process
Assessment is important to assess students knowledge but feed back is more important so students learn can increase thier knowledge.
A very well structured and informative grading rubric plays an important role when evaluating student's understanding of learning material. It also helps faculty to assess themselves about how effective their teaching skills / methods are.
Rubrics are something I never learned until I went to college, but once I learned about them, I realized how very helpful they were in identifying where I needed to improve and how to improve.
I should always include objectives and clear criteria and/or relate the objectives to the reflective components, to create meaningful assessment.
Assessing students not only show what they have learned but what you as a teacher can improve on or what you have taught well. Rubrics are a great tool to use. It helps students know the expectations and how to self assess their work. It is alos extremely important to provide the student with feedback.
Providing feedback that is specific is imperative for student learning. A "good job" does not provide sufficient information for an improvement.
Rubrics take some of the subjectivity out of written assignments which I prefer as students are not as able to claim favortism over grades
Assesments are very importnat to use. They can be in the form of a rubric, or test or quiz. Meaningful feedback is also very important, not so with a rubric, but with a test or a quiz imbeeded feedback can be very important, or when evaluating a web page make sure links work and use verbal feedback
