Workshop Description:

In Designing Effective Feedback Processes in Higher Education: A Learning-Focused Approach, Naomi Winstone and David Carless argue for a more student-centered approach to feedback. They argue that an old paradigm viewed feedback as simply a transmission of comments from teacher to student but ask us to embody a new feedback paradigm that prioritizes dialogue and interaction between teachers and students. Using this vision of feedback, in this workshop, we challenge our assumptions about feedback and redesign this integral part of formative and summative assessment to encourage student engagement, sense-making, and uptake.

By the end of this CTEI Workshop, you will be able to:

  • Create spaces for meaningful formative and summative feedback;
  • Design meaningful feedback mechanisms in different modalities; and
  • Assess the effectiveness of different feedback strategies for your teaching context.

*This session will be 90 minutes (60-minute interactive workshop + 30 minutes optional conversation and Q&A)
