Moving the classroom online can lead to microaggressions and other “acts of oppression," which can leave students feeling marginalized or socially threatened, negatively impacting their learning. How can we ensure that our online classrooms remain safe spaces for students to learn together? My suggestion: Create multiple, formative feedback mechanisms that ensure ongoing and safe outlets for students to express feedback. Just as we add formative assessments alongside our summative (evaluative, end-of-class) assessments, we should also add formative feedback mechanisms to our summative course evaluations. In this video, I share the four mechanisms I created in my Fall 2020 classes: multiple part-time TAs, Canvas Exit Tickets, an always-available anonymous Qualtrics survey, and CTEC custom questions on the success of the class in creating a “safe and respectful learning environment,” “positive connections with peers,” and a “positive relationship with your instructor.” In addition to midterm and end-of-semester evaluations, these feedback structures made me feel more comfortable knowing that I could be alerted if there were any issues of cultural sensitivity or other concerns.
