Feedback for Learning Workshop – Melbourne, 3 October 2017
6 September 2017
CRADLE Director Prof. David Boud and CRADLE Associate Director A/Prof. Phillip Dawson are part of the Feedback for Learning project team that will be hosting an interactive half-day workshop at Deakin Downtown on Tuesday 3 October 2017.
Assessment feedback regularly receives low course satisfaction ratings in student surveys, with students reporting that feedback comments from educators can be ambiguous, confusing, and returned too late to be useful. However, data also suggest that there are pockets of excellence in feedback practice across Australian higher education. What are these teaching teams doing that is so good, and what is enabling their successes?
To explore these critical issues, the Feedback for Learning: Closing the Assessment Loop project team will be hosting an interactive half-day workshop in Melbourne. Join us at Deakin Downtown on Tuesday 3 October to explore current educator and student experiences of feedback, and discuss strategies to develop and support effective feedback designs in present educational contexts. The workshop will be led by the project’s team of experienced feedback researchers: CRADLE Director Prof. David Boud, Prof. Elizabeth Molloy, A/Prof. Michael Henderson, CRADLE Associate Director A/Prof. Phillip Dawson, and Dr Michael Phillips.
If you are in charge of feedback design for a unit/subject/module, an educational developer or academic designer, a course/programme leader, or an Associate Dean or Associate Head of School (T&L), then this workshop is for you.
