Target Audience: All staff who teach and/or support learning

Feedback in higher education can be difficult to get right. It takes skill and experience to provide students with feedback that is timely, accessible, consistent and oriented towards students’ future success. The challenges associated with feedback are amplified in large-classes and by other related issues such as assessment bunching.  

Students may also need support to recognise the value of feedback and understand that they have an active role in to play in processes related to assessment and feedback process.  

This STEP session will explore a number of strategies that can help support your students to make the most of feedback. The session will be responsive, practical, and focussed on discovering solutions to real challenges.
