Welcome to this course on Supporting Students’ Use of Feedback, developed Dr Naomi Winstone from the University of Surrey, UK.
We know that students’ use of feedback is important to educators because, if applied effectively, feedback has a significant impact on students’ learning. For feedback to be useful, students need to develop feedback literacy and have opportunities to apply the feedback to further their learning.
This course explores the importance of supporting students’ use of feedback and the common challenges students face with it. You will also discover a range of solutions, including practical activities that enhance students’ feedback literacy and actions that promote a model of responsibility-sharing in feedback, which recognises what both students and educators can do to ensure students get the most from the feedback they receive.
“It is important to support students to develop the skills underpinning the effective use of feedback, and not to assume that they know exactly how to get the most from it.”
