IFAT
(Immediate Feedback Assessment Technique)

*Unique to our LMS and not currently available in Canvas, Blackboard, or Google Classroom, is the ability to give students real-time feedback after EACH question is submitted on a quiz, allowing instructors to give hints, scaffold complex problems, and allow students the valuable opportunity to make mistakes, receive targeted feedback, and learn from their mistakes to construct meaningful understanding & achieve success!

Earth Science class doing a summative lab quiz on minerals and rock samples using real geology samples, microscopes, scratch / hardness tests, chemical tests, etc.

The LMS platform used is to deliver an enhanced experience as lab partners worked in pairs--given immediate feedback, opportunity to learn from mistakes, discuss with partner, re-test in the lab, and then to try again immediately for partial credit embracing the “coachable moment”!

Much richer, robust experience than traditional Scantron / paper form--better feedback, conversations, and laboratory testing of minerals and rocks! Very cool!

One day after school a student asked me for a penny or quarter to make up an exam for Dr. V--I thought that was a strange request! Until I realized Jim was using the IFAT scratch off test forms, where students get immediate feedback and can try again for partial credit! Good thing we can do the same thing now but even better without the expense of these specialized scratch off forms (let's save that for winning the lottery!)!!
