Feedback for Learning

FEEDBACK AS LEARNING

Students learn theory and concepts from lectures, textbooks, supplementary materials, class discussion and lecture notes.  However, it is not until they apply that initial learning to solve a problem, work out an equation, analyze a case study or write a paper that they begin to develop a deeper understanding of fundamental concepts. Without timely, detailed feedback on assignments, students leave each topic with, at best, a superficial understanding of key ideas. 

FEEDBACK AS SCIENCE

FEEDBACK AS SCIENCE

When instructors share rubrics with students ahead of time, they set clear expectations for learning and mastery. At Gradify, rubrics form the basis for providing feedback and scoring student assignments. We believe that the scoring of student work---and the data analytics that result from it---should be treated as a science.

FEEDBACK AS EMPATHY

Unfortunately, feedback remains the weakest link in a student's learning journey—in school and in college. At Gradify, graders are trained to empathize with learners, to provide feedback that is actionable, granular and supportive in tone. 

FEEDBACK AS MISSION

Gradify's mission is threefold:

  1. transform feedback to improve learning outcomes
  2. raise faculty productivity in teaching and research
  3. reduce instructional costs, while enhancing quality
