Timely feedback on assignments is one of the most meaningful ways to connect with students and help guide their growth and academic success. Feedback can be provided in multiple ways: using a rubric, using the built-in annotation tool in the LMS, or through audio or video recordings. Feedback should be presented promptly, be aligned to the assignment rubric and/or instructions, and provide meaningful, actionable suggestions for student success.

​

While providing substantive feedback is a requirement, use concise language to emphasize what was done well and point out areas for growth, maintaining a constructive tone throughout. Download the Best Practices document, below, to review a few examples of how to incorporate the Community of Inquiry model to provide effective feedback.
