Help Students Use Feedback Copy URL

Workshop by M'Hammed Abdous.

Most student feedback is ignored, filed away, or only glanced at for grades. This workshop transforms feedback from a one-way critique into a powerful learning tool that students actively use. Participants will explore what research reveals about the timing and structure of effective feedback, and examine models that spark genuine improvement rather than defensiveness. Faculty will leave with practical systems for creating feedback loops that save time while developing student skills.

• Delivery Style
  Zoom
• Objectives
  • Design feedback that students can understand, value, and act upon based on formative assessment research.
  • Cultivate classroom cultures where feedback drives growth rather than anxiety or grade-focused thinking.
  • Create structured feedback-response cycles that require students to engage with and apply instructor comments.
  • Streamline feedback delivery through the strategic use of rubrics, learning management system (LMS) tools, and peer review systems.

Keep Students Focused Copy URL

Workshop by M'Hammed Abdous.

Even in well-designed courses, phones buzz, minds wander, and students check out. This workshop addresses distraction head-on, drawing on findings from attention research and classroom studies. Participants will identify the biggest focus killers in their teaching environments and then practice small but powerful techniques that recapture student attention without overhauling their courses. Faculty will walk away with ready-to-use activities that have been tested in large lectures, online classes, and discussion-heavy seminars.

• Delivery Style
  Zoom
• Objectives
  • Recognize common attention barriers in modern classrooms and their impact on student learning.
  • Apply research-backed techniques that quickly restore focus and sustain engagement throughout class sessions.
  • Design one active learning element tailored to the size, format, and student population of the course.
  • Adapt proven attention strategies for in-person and digital learning environments.
