We have a Lesson activity set up for elementary students where they can provide answers in an Essay form within a Lesson. We would like the teacher to be able to provide Feedback for the student. However, the only way that seems to be possible is through an email.
Given that we are working with elementary students, this is a roadblock. For starters, the Feedback is now disassociated with original work (yes, the student answer is included with the teacher feedback, but in a whole different setting for kids). Also given that each response triggers an additional email, well, this is overwhelming for the students.
Here is what we currently have set up. We have a lesson with 10 pages. 5 of those pages have an Essay field for the student to reflect and respond upon the information. We don't really care about a grade (we would actually prefer no grade at all, just formative feedback).
In the end, the teacher can provide Feedback (Grade Essays), but the student has a tough time seeing the Feedback.
Is there an alternative to email to provide feedback to a student within a Lesson?
