How do communication practices in the online environment correlate to effective feedback?
Providing feedback on assignments, discussions, or exams might be the online form of communication some students will receive. I see this in my fourth period GAVS class. The class is mostly eighth graders who refuse to contact their teacher with a question or concern. The only communication they the student receives is through comments posted on their assignments. Feedback on assignments allows teachers stay connected with their students and provide specific praise or concern without sending another email.
Why is authentic feedback important for online learners?
Authentic feedback is very important to my fourth period GAVS class. The students will compare comments left by their teacher on their assignments. I remember almost every student performed poorly on a grammar quiz and the teacher posted a picture with the words, "Study harder" stamped across the image. Most students felt offended and others were upset that they received the same feedback as their classmate. Based on this real life example I think authentic feedback will help students feel like an individual and not another student the teacher has to grade assignments for.
In what ways might an instructor enrich a student's online experience through feedback?
