Actionable Feedback
Actionable feedback is specific to the marking criteria, evidenced and transferable (SET), meaning that students know how to apply the guidance given.
It is an important component of supporting our students to be effective in their learning and understanding their assessment expectations throughout the duration of their course.
Where we are now
The CLT has produced guidance and tools to help you get started with Actionable Feedback:
- Firstly, you can use the radar map tool to evaluate the feedback you currently provide to your students.
- Visit the Actionable Feedback guidance for detailed information about what it is and why it is an important part of your assessment & feedback strategy.
- You can consult our guidance on the ethical and legal use of GenAI, which contains FAQs on how you might use GenAI to support your teaching and feedback practices.
Please get in touch to arrange a bespoke workshop to promote actionable feedback in your department or course team.
