Designing modules for fast, formative feedback
Posted by mathieso on August 10, 2011 at 3:20pm
Hi all,
Like to get some ideas for a set of modules I'm going to (re)implement.
The science
Learning science tells us that fast, frequent, formative feedback is a Good Thing. Formative means the goal is not evaluation of the student, but helping the student learn. So:
- Students get details about what they did right and wrong.
- Students are able to resubmit until they get it right.
- Each exercise is chance for a conversation between student and reviewer.
