About this webinar : This two-part online workshop introduces a transformative approach to feedback generation and data-driven teaching.

Webinar 1 explores the origins and benefits of this innovative method, demonstrating how Microsoft Forms and Power Automate can streamline the feedback process. We’ll show how ticking boxes can generate tailored feedback, ready to use in Turnitin or Blackboard. Additionally, we’ll discuss how the resulting data—on student performance and teaching trends—can inform moderation, targeted teaching, and future module design.

Webinar 2 is a hands-on, interactive session. Participants will follow a step-by-step guide to create their own simple Power Automate workflow. By the end, you’ll have a functional automated feedback system that can be customized to fit your needs.

Whether you’re new to automation or seeking to enhance your current processes, this workshop provides practical tools and insights to transform your assessment and feedback strategies.
