About giving feedback
Feedback and assessment should empower learners to improve their performance. Assessments are integral to learning because they provide teachers and learners with data that will help them improve. When done well, it allows learners to reflect on their own progress, and helps them identify strategies to become better. How can you give better feedback? Here are some tips:
Be consistent with the goals. Make sure you framed the assignment well by adding a rubric, sharing expectations, or aligning it with learning goals. Use those expectations as starting points for the feedback you will give.
Comment on the process and product. If your assignment is designed in an authentic manner, both the process and the product would be aligned in your rubrics and learning goals. Providing feedback to the product tells learners “what does good look like”, but providing feedback on the process also tells them “what steps did I do well, and which ones can I improve next time”.
Offer next steps. Identify action steps that will help the learner acquire a higher level of proficiency. This makes the feedback useful, encouraging learners to become better.
Through Brightspace, providing feedback to multiple learners and submissions is easier when utilized with the Rubrics feature. Here’s a tutorial to share how to assess submissions using rubrics.
Assessing submissions using rubrics
Assessing submissions using rubrics
There are two ways to give feedback on assignments, you can either go to the Quick Eval section or the Assignments section to navigate the assignment you need to assess. Once in the specific assignment, open a learner’s submission.
You should see two sections: on the left would contain the submission (whether a doc or a link) and on the right would be the assessment tools. Navigate to the Evaluation and Feedback section and you will see the rubrics attached to this assignment. (To know how to assign rubrics, read this guide)
After opening the rubric, you will be able to select levels and scores for the learner by simply clicking on them. The item’s score also automatically adds to the overall score.
Notice that as you click a level, feedback that was built into the rubric will be displayed automatically. If the rubric has not built-in feedback, you can add by clicking the Add Feedback button.
After going through all items, the score is automatically totaled. You can override the scores of the items, if you prefer to give a more precise numerical score.
When done, click Close, and you will be back to the submission window. Notice the rubric score is added automatically to the Score.
When ready, click Publish to send back the score and feedback to the learner.
