 * Providing Qualitative Feedback in Online Teaching with Minimal Effort, yet Reaping Great Benefits**

As a faculty member teaching online, do you want to provide qualitative feedback for your students, yet be able to provide it with less time and effort? If so, this forum is for you! The goal of this session is to provide an overview and some tips to use in the classroom to obtain the greatest benefit of the time you invest in providing feedback for subjective, written assignments.

Most online faculty hope that the learning experience in the ‘classroom’ for students is beneficial and rewarding. Providing qualitative and extensive feedback for students enhances their ability to learn, adjust and grow. However, there are limits for how much time can be devoted to providing helpful feedback. Research has demonstrated that quality feedback correlates with student learning outcomes and student achievement (Hattie, 1992).

This interactive session will demonstrate how you can provide rich, high quality feedback in less time. Two applications, written and produced by the presenter, which allow you to provide feedback for students in far less time, will be presented. The applications will be demonstrated and thus, show faculty how to help students by providing feedback efficiently, yet with a great deal of depth. Participants can present their own issues and then be shown how to use the applications to reduce their workload.

All Audiences qualitative feedback, online teaching, grading applications
