Possible Design Topics
Feedback
The topic of feedback in online teaching and learning stems from a belief in the power of critical reflection in higher education and of collaborative learning with peers. Participants can provide valuable insights and support to each other when guided in the structure and sharing of constructive feedback.
Feedback between an instructor and a class of online students can take various forms and be shared in many ways. Many instructors are exploring different ways to provide timely, authentic feedback and to involve students in peer-to-peer feedback for deeper learning and individual development.
