Abstract

In this talk, I raise the possibility of the streamlining of teacher workloads by reducing or abandoning ineffective feedback practices that do not encourage student action. I propose a value perspective on feedback, striving for feedback practices that are satisfying for teachers, useful for students and incorporate the principled use of digital and automated feedback inputs. This includes a focus on increasing potentially valuable feedback inputs within the flow of courses, and decreasing unproductive ones at the end of courses when it is too late for students to act. Considering feedback from students’ viewpoints carries potential to identify the timing and digital modes of feedback that carry most benefits for ongoing student learning. Recent advances in AI-related feedback possibilities are addressed.
