In times of socially-distanced learning, many educators are physically isolated from their students and need to incorporate steady, consistent and meaningful feedback into their teaching. Consistent communication is important to let students know where they are at, where they are going, and how they will achieve learning outcomes.  

Feedback plays a major role in the learning process. Educators need to make sure that any feedback in the form of comments, encouragement, redirection and critical information is received by talking with their students. Good feedback should be clear, concise, delivered in time and user-friendly (it needs to be provided in a way that students understand). Without feedback, grades aren't genuinely meaningful to anyone.

Check the news below to learn more about what good feedback looks like, how to integrate it into a learning process and how to leverage it.
