Feedback in Studios

Giving and receiving feedback is a valuable part of learning. During this workshop, you will present your evolving design project to your peers and FLO facilitators in Studio each week. This provides you with opportunities to ask for help with challenges or gain new insights from responding to questions and explaining your purpose and choices. You'll also review other participants' projects and respond to their requests for ideas or constructive criticism.

Feedback should be:

• descriptive (specific) not evaluative
• identify strengths or positive effects first
• be framed with "I" statements not "you"
• be helpful not hurtful
• provide suggestions for change (that can be accepted or put aside)
• establish an opening for further dialogue.

In addition, a basic list of elements of online learning to think about will be provided to deepen the quality of the feedback provided - as the plans evolve.
