An Introduction to the Feedback and Feed Forward for Learning Workshop



This interactive workshop will focus on the following aspects: 
  • understanding feedback, particularly formative feedback as an effective educational practice in support of student learning. 
  • the perceptions and purposes of feedback, looking at issues around quantity, timing and quality. 
  • distinctions between feedback and feed forward and the relationship between feedback and good learning in HE. 
  • student involvement and student responses to feedback and how we might enhance students' awareness and understanding of the purposes and value of feedback for their progression and for a positive student experience. 
  • examples of good practice strategies related to key principles of good feedback practice
  • ways to deploy Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) in effective and innovative feedback approaches
