20 November

+ +

Type: Arqus Teaching Innovation

Format: Online

Open to: Academics & researchers, Admin. Staff, Teachers

As part of the Arqus Teaching Innovation workshop series, the Arqus Alliance invites the Arqus teacher and administrative staff to join the next session on Thursday, 20 November 2025, from 14:00 – 16:00 (CET).

Most educators are in the habit of providing students with some kind of feedback on their work and contributions in class. However, there is a big difference between giving feedback on what has happened and making it useful and relevant as a tool for improving students’ performance in future learning activities.

Feedforward adds key elements to traditional feedback so it is future-oriented and an active element in improving students’ performance.

This session will explain what feedforward is and underline why it is a vital companion to feedback. We will show participants how to incorporate feedback when teaching in any subject.
