Follow up communication with the student, by reaching out to them individually to understand their reasons for non submission.

Also implementing a reminder system that can help the students remember they have a submission deadline.

Extended deadlines- offer grace period or extensions to students who might be struggling.

Provide extra tutoring sessions with student to help if they are struggling

ensure the student has access to all necessary tools and resources, such as good internet, software or hardware that might be a barrier to submission.

Arrange a meeting with the academic team to discuss implications of missed submissions- and help the student develop a plan that can help them get back on track.

Alternative Assessment-offering an alternative assessment that might be more suitable for the students circumstances

Flexible assessments is another option that will enable our the student submit their assessment.

Following delivery of the module there should be a module assessment to review all aspects, such as, the guide, VLE materials, student survey, achievement profile including levels of: ontime submissions, 1st time passes, academic misconduct, grade profiles etc. Would also be interesting to conduct a comparative analysis against other modules to identify whether it's an issue with a particular module, tutor, campus etc..

Results from the above activity could lead to actions to improve the module for future delivery.

Based on spreadsheet shared

1. Reflect on Assessment Goals: Revisit the objectives and goals set for the assessment.

2. Analyse Student Performance: Delve into the data (spreadsheet) to understand how students performed. Identify patterns, strengths, and areas for improvement.

3. Provide Feedback: Give students detailed feedback on their performance. Highlight what they did well and where they can improve.

4. Collect Student Feedback: Ask students for their thoughts on the assessment.

5. Plan Interventions: Based on the analysis, plan targeted interventions for students who need additional support.

6. Celebrate Achievements: Acknowledge and celebrate the successes and improvements students have made.

7. Document Insights: Keep a record of your observations and insights from the assessment looking at the trackers. Example for my module WRL100 I look back at the trackers shared with me

8. Continuous Improvement: Use the insights gained to improve your teaching methods and assessment strategies.

Support could have been put in place following a range of formative assessment activities that may have identified a need for greater clarification of LOs. Also may have identified the level of assignment activity and likely non submissions

I am focusing on the Module - Programming Fundamentals Part 1 assessment - Looking at so many referrals, DNA's, late submissions, and TZ - the next step for the tutors could be - Gather feedback from students to understand their challenges , Evaluate Teaching Strategies, Provide Additional Support, Consider whether the assessment was appropriately designed, Discuss Results with Students, and the Plan for the Future Assessment for this particular Module

# data[].attributes.body
Support should be provided at the first instance of a student struggling. Take time to meet with the student to identify the issues and connect with the proper support.

# data[].attributes.body
Interventions could happen at multiple points. Review of assessment data may trigger intervention. Submission deadlines may be another trigger once the number (non submissions) and quality (academic misconduct?) of submissions is understood.

Process feedback: Be Specific: Instead of saying “Good job,” you might say, “Your thesis statement was clear and well-supported by evidence.”

Be Timely: Give feedback as soon as possible after the assignment or activity. This helps students remember what they did and understand your comments better.

Be Constructive: Use positive language and frame your feedback in a way that encourages growth. For example, “You might consider adding more examples to support your argument.”

Follow-Up: Offer opportunities for students to discuss your feedback and ask questions. This can be done through one-on-one meetings or written responses.

as a programm manager and a tutor, I can facilitate process feedback effectively by:

1] setting milestones, breaking down the process- clearly outlining the steps, objectives, etc

2] encouraging students to use journals or logs which is helpful for self reflection,

3] timely feedback is important,

4] prepare a plan for continuous improvement

Preparatory

You need to focus on the needs of the assessment, reiterate the outcomes and point out the key verbs such as evaluate, analyse etc.

Process, is where you need to show the learner how string they have touched on the requirements, do they still need to do more?

Performance feedback will need to focus on AIMSS

Ensure their strong points are pointed out, Achievements throughout the assessment

Grade and why that particular grade, refer to rubric

Feedforward that shows them how they could have improved if still room for improvement

Preparatory- Quizzes that meet all students' needs

Process- feedback on drafts, using correct vocabulary as an example, Q/A

Guidance and Direction: It provides students with specific, actionable insights on how to improve their work.

Motivation and Engagement: When feedback is constructive and timely, it can boost students’ motivation and engagement.

Self-Reflection and Critical Thinking: Feedback encourages students to reflect on their performance and think critically about their work.

Building Confidence: Positive feedback that highlights strengths as well as areas for improvement can build students’ confidence.

Creating a Supportive Learning Environment: A culture of open communication and continuous improvement, where feedback is welcomed and valued, transforms the educational experience.

Providing the answer for Why ? Is very important .Why are they doing this course what they will gain and how can they use it in real life .

# data[].attributes.body
I believe preparatory feedback occurs when you are setting out the module delivery from the initial weeks. You may want to provide useful guidance to students about the assessment processes and to clarify the expectations and the criteria with which they will be graded. You may also set out at that stage to equip the students with resources needed to complete the assessment successfully and to plan their way to completing the assessment tasks (eg specific time management strategies, workload management etc).

# data[].attributes.body
Key features of the Preparatory and Process Feedback stages:

Prep feedback stage could include the grading / rubrics so students can see what is expected of each criteria. It could also include setting a clear learning criteria and assessment instructions for the students to reflect back on when constructing their work.
