QUESTION

To ensure student success and engagement, faculty members should:

a. make evaluative comments in the discussion forum as to the quality of each student’s post so they can improve.
b. administer multiple choice tests to measure students’ progress in learning the concepts.
c. provide timely feedback to students using a grading rubric through the grading center.
d. use their discretion as to the amount and frequency of their feedback to the students.

ANSWER:

ANS: C
Providing students with how their learning will be evaluated though a rubric and when this will occur should keep the students engaged and successful. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) frowns on other students having access to evaluative comments of classmates. Multiple-choice questions do not necessarily keep the student engaged. Students should know what is required, when, and how soon they will receive feedback on their progress.
