Session Description

As instructors, we all know that feedback is critical in the success of student learning. At its core, feedback plays an integral role in student performance and self-efficacy (Wang & Wu, 2007). When feedback is provided as formative assessment, it can be one of the most effective pedagogical strategies for enhancing student performance (Marzano, 2007). Although there are many tools and techniques that can be used to provide feedback, our presentation will showcase how Blackboard easily allows for a variety of personal/private feedback using the Wimba Voice tool (oral feedback), journal entries, and detailed “personal” feedback in the Grade Center (both oral and written). When used in conjunction with each other, these techniques/tools support student success.
