Spring 2026 | The Art of Feedback: Turning Comments into Conversations

About this episode

This episode explores how to transform feedback into a meaningful dialogue to enhance student engagement and learning.

Feedback is one of the most powerful tools faculty have to support student learning, yet too often, it becomes a one-way exchange that students struggle to interpret, apply, or engage with meaningfully. In this episode, Dr. Roderick Williams Sr. invites us to reimagine feedback as a dialogic, relational teaching practice. Drawing on research-informed strategies, we explore how conversational feedback moves beyond evaluation to foster clarity, motivation, trust, and deeper engagement, especially in online and accelerated learning environments.
