Overview

"In the world of online education, where subject matter experts (SMEs) possess their expertise with authority, yet often find themselves navigating the intricate landscape of teaching writing in a virtual environment without a compass. The challenge is clear: many SMEs lack a foundational understanding of the pedagogy and andragogy crucial for delivering effective feedback in online courses. In the fast-paced realm of compressed online courses, the need for actionable feedback that propels the teaching and learning cycle forward is paramount. In the absence of a structured approach to feedback, SMEs face the daunting task of transforming their subject matter expertise into a format that not only resonates with online learners but also leads to perseverance and retention. The traditional methods often fall short in the digital classroom, necessitating a solution that goes beyond mere praise.
