Facilitator: Laura Facciolo Effective feedback is one of the most powerful tools educators have to foster learner growth (Wiggins, 2012). However, the time and effort required to develop meaningful feedback can significantly impact its quality, ultimately resulting in negative outcomes for both educators and learners. This workshop will guide you through the process of using generative artificial intelligence (genAI) to optimize the learner feedback process. Participants should bring their own analytical rubrics—which will serve as the foundation for automated alignment—to this workshop. Together, we will use the “Glow-Grow” technique as a prompting strategy to guide the feedback of feedback statements within a structured framework.
