Gather Student Feedback

Gathering student feedback is an essential component of assessing the effectiveness of collaborative Generative AI (GenAI) in your classroom. It provides valuable insights into the learners’ experiences, challenges, and perceptions of the technology. Here are key strategies for gathering meaningful student feedback:

Create a Safe & Open Environment

• Foster a classroom culture where students feel comfortable sharing their honest opinions about the use of Collaborative GenAI.
• Emphasize that their feedback is crucial for improving the learning experience and will not negatively impact their grades.

Consider Multiple Feedback Channels

Implement a variety of feedback methods to cater to different student preferences:

• Anonymous surveys
• One-on-one interviews
• Group discussions (students can learn from one another’s approaches to using Collaborative GenAI.)
• Online feedback forms
• Reflection journals

Design Targeted Feedback Questions

Develop specific questions that address different aspects of using Collaborative GenAI:

• Ease of use
• Perceived benefits to learning
• Challenges encountered
• Impact on workload and time management
• Suggestions for improvement

Create an Evaluation Schedule

• Conduct brief, periodic check-ins throughout the course to gather ongoing feedback make real-time adjustments to your GenAI implementation.
• Include both quantitative and qualitative questions to gather rich, detailed feedback.
• Conduct follow-up surveys with students after the course to understand the lasting impact of collaborative GenAI on their learning and skills.

By implementing these strategies, you can gather comprehensive and actionable student feedback on the use of collaborative GenAI in your classroom. This feedback is invaluable for refining your approach, improving the learning experience, and ensuring that the technology is effectively supporting student success.

Remember to provide constructive feedback to students on their use of GenAI as well, offering specific, actionable recommendations on how they can refine their skills and knowledge. Use a supportive and encouraging tone to maintain learner motivation and engagement throughout the feedback process.
