Communicate 4.1.1 Evaluation Methods and Communication Practices Quest

How do communication practices in the online environment correlate to effective feedback?

Why is authentic feedback important for online learners?

In what ways might an instructor enrich a student’s online experience through feedback?

When grading most assignments in an LMS there is a comment section that allows you to give personalized comments to the student.

Authentic feedback is important because there is no F2F communication. The student cannot see your expression or body language. Words can be misinterpreted and so it is very important that you communicate well and directly.

Feed back can give the student instructions on what they are doing (right and wrong) or it can explain how to use a tool. Feedback can take the form of a picture or chart, vidow or animation. It all depends on what you are tryin to say.
