How Do I Provide Feedback to Students?

Kiddom offers a streamlined feedback experience for teachers and students, which includes the ability to:

• Provide high-level feedback about an assignment
• Provide granular feedback at the question level
• Control when feedback is delivered to students
• Edit and delete the comments you’ve posted

Providing Feedback on an Assignment or on Specific Questions

To begin providing feedback to your students, navigate to your class's Planner page (calendar icon) and select an assignment to assess. Then select a student who you wish to provide feedback to.

At the assignment header, you can click ‘Assignment Feedback’ to open a textbox for authoring general comments for the student about the assignment. Alternatively, you can click ‘Question Feedback’ to open a similar textbox for comments that pertain to any particular question.

Once you are done editing, you can click anywhere else on the page and your comments will be stored (even if you log out of Kiddom).

Posting Feedback to Students

The feedback you write to your students won’t be sent to them immediately, allowing you to maintain control over what and when you communicate with students. There are two methods for sharing feedback when posting an assignment:

• All Grades and Feedback shares feedback alongside students’ grades once you post the graded assignments back to your students. Students will see both the feedback and the grade for the assignment and questions. This will close the assignment for the students.
• Feedback Only shares only provided feedback without including any grades for the assignment or questions. Students will see the feedback and, if the assignment is Unlocked, will be able to continue to edit and resubmit the activity. Take a look at this article for more information about Locked and Unlocked assignments.

Once posted, your students will be able to see their feedback when accessing the assignment in Kiddom.

Your students will also be able to see which questions have specific feedback associated with them.

Editing or Deleting Feedback

Before assignments have been posted back to students, clicking on any feedback textbox will allow you to edit the comment. Deleting the text completely and clicking outside the textbox will remove the textbox and delete the comment.

After a comment has been posted to a student, you can still access the assignment to edit or delete it. However, you will need to post the assignment again to your student in order to update it for the students to see the changes you made.
