Abstract
Creating and Presenting Effective Student Online Feedback: It Must Engage and Motivate, Not Merely Sit “…is important to the learning process; the art of giving effective online feedback is a critical skill for an educator” (Leibold & Schwarz, 2015, p. 34). Too often, it is discovered students did not read the feedback or if read the feedback is not absorbed, it is not used as a motivator to make students excited about improving their efforts. In addition to reflecting student achievement of the stated learning outcomes this foundational element of teaching should also “… support and motivate student effort and learning” (Brookhart, 2017, p. 2). This presentation will explore current research and the presenter’s proven innovations for instructors to understand the impact of creating and presenting effective feedback, the importance of using feedback for the students’ professional world, and how to create motivating and engaging feedback.
