In Practice: Feedback

From the Rubric

• Incomplete: There is little to no evidence of meaningful feedback on student assessments. 

• Aligned: The course includes a clear description of how meaningful, timely feedback on assessments will be provided. 

• Exemplary: Students are given clear instructions on accessing feedback in the CMS and guidance on applying feedback to improve learning and performance. 

How to Implement

Share with students when and how they should expect to receive feedback from you. You could also spend time on the importance of feedback and why you spend time giving feedback and what you hope they will do with it. Not all students will know how and where to find the feedback and what to do with it when they do. This information can be shared in your syllabus, communication procedures, or a page of your Canvas orientation module to help get students all on the same page. 

Feedback can be provided in several ways through Canvas, including video, audio, and text. Regardless of the format that used, in order to align with the CVC-OEI rubric, feedback needs to be timely and actionable. This means we need to be giving feedback close to when submissions come in and we need to have that feedback provide an action for students to improve their learning.
