LIVE Review Cycle for Instructors
We’re doing our normal week-long PD in one hour! From 2-3 PM Eastern on Wednesday, August 9, join a video conference to improve your peer learning pitch to students. Note: You gotta write it ahead of time.
This video conference is perfect for two audiences:
- new instructors who have NOT previously completed Eli’s week-long online PD
- those who are curious about how Eli works
You will see how Eli helps students focus and follow-through on feedback. You’ll give feedback, get feedback, debrief, and build a revision plan… IF you’ve done your homework.
The homework is to enroll in the course and compose a short statement explaining to students why peer learning is part of your course; step-by-step instructions are below. The full writing task includes links to several Eli Review resources. It’s due 10 AM on Wednesday, August 9—four short hours before we connect via video conference.
About the Workshop
Feedback and revision improve learning. Eli Review is designed to make it easier to assign more feedback and revision. Eli also helps instructors coach writers in giving better comments and making better revisions because they can see more of students’ thinking and actions.
- Feedback and revision are the key components of a powerful writing pedagogy.
- Effective reviews help students give helpful feedback.
- Teachers can help students rethink their writing.
- Teachers can use formative feedback in real-time to coach writers and reviewers.
In this workshop, instructors will share the way they explain peer learning to their students and experience Eli Review’s scaffold for feedback and revision first-hand.
