Feedback is a cornerstone of effective learning environments, fostering growth and knowledge transfer. It serves as a powerful tool for educators and learners alike, driving continuous improvement and development. However, are there optimal methods for delivering feedback? And should feedback differ in hybrid environments, where students engage both online and onsite?

The concept of feedback in hybrid settings is not different in its core from feedback in other settings – it is better delivered face-to-face, and in the hybrid environment this means that the people online will get feedback through the camera and the screen, whilst the ones onsite will get feedback face-to-face without the screen. Effectively blending offline and online learning together requires a comprehensive strategy. To achieve this, it’s essential to plan the learning experience right from the start using a hybrid model. This means guaranteeing fair access to learning materials and consolidating resources on an online platform.

Feedback offers valuable insights into students’ strengths and areas for improvement, promoting self-reflection and critical assessment. Constructive feedback aids in developing a deeper understanding of capabilities and setting achievable learning goals. Additionally, it serves as a motivational factor, inspiring students to strive for excellence.

Feedback is the cornerstone of effective teaching and learning, serving as a catalyst for growth and improvement. In this session, we will explore the importance of feedback in hybrid classrooms, where students engage both online and onsite. We will examine best practices for delivering feedback that fosters student development and enhances learning outcomes.
