| Summer Highlight Fundamentals: Giving Effective Feedback
August 28 – September 4 According to research, feedback on learning is a key factor for improving the learning outcomes and student satisfaction. While giving effective feedback can help drive your students towards success in your course and help them to better understand the material, it can also take a lot of time. In this workshop, you will identify different feedback strategies along with effective methods for providing feedback to your students efficiently. Many of the practices explored in this workshop can also help increase student engagement in the class and help with faculty satisfaction and workload management.

Expectations for OLC Workshops: Most OLC workshops are asynchronous, and facilitated. You don’t need to be at your computer at a specific time, but there are deadlines throughout the week for various assignments. OLC staff describes workshop expectations this way, “For all of our workshops, we suggest that participants devote at least one hour each day to read materials, post to the forums, and complete graded assignments…To receive an Award of Completion, participants must complete the graded assignments by the due date set.” Some OLC workshops are offered synchronously. Read the descriptions to determine the workshop format.
