Welcome to Week 7! This week we will be reading about feedback and its application in distance learning. We will also venture into the relationships between feedback and formative assessment, while seeking unique considerations distance learning poses for summative evaluations along with grading competencies.
Read: Please read, Module 8: Feedback, Assessment, and Grading
Reflect: Post your response to the prompt below by Monday morning.
Prompt: This week you will have the option to focus on either feedback, assessment or grading.
Option 1: Feedback focus: See the “Note to Self” on pg. 152 and complete the graphic organizer for this post: Select a well-designed student task you have used (perhaps one that engaged most of your students). What do you need to provide high-information feedback?
OR
Option 2: Formative assessment focus: See the “Note to Self” on pg. 160 and complete the graphic organizer for this post: How do you check for understanding in your distance learning classes? Use or add to this list on pg. 160 and share examples of what did or did not work to formatively assess your students at a distance.
OR
Option 3: Grading focus: See the “Note to Self” on pg. 165 and complete the graphic organizer for this post: Use the questions to spark your thinking about grading practices in the context of distance learning.
Interact: On Monday, read your colleagues' reflections and respond to at least one other post by sharing a comment, insight, or interesting possibility by next Thursday.
