Closing the Feedback Loop in Classkick

  • Updated

Providing feedback is only the first step. For feedback to improve learning, students need opportunities to apply it.

The feedback loop is completed when students receive feedback, apply it to improve their work, and reflect on their learning.

Classkick makes it easy to build revision and reflection into the learning process so feedback becomes an active part of learning rather than a final comment.

1) Build Revision Into Your Workflow

Instead of treating assignments as complete once they are submitted, encourage students to revisit their work after receiving feedback.

For example:

  1. Students complete a task.
  2. The teacher leaves comments or annotations.
  3. Students revise their responses.
  4. The teacher reviews the updated work.

This process helps students see learning as something that grows through effort and revision.

TIP: Consider having students raise their hand once they’ve updated their work so you know when to check back in.

2) Encourage Reflection

Reflection helps students think about what they learned and how they improved.

Consider ending an assignment with prompts such as:

  • What feedback helped you most?
  • What did you improve today?
  • What is one goal for next time?

These questions encourage students to engage with feedback rather than simply viewing it as correction.

3) Focus on Growth

When revision and reflection become part of classroom routines, students begin to view feedback differently.

Instead of asking, "What grade did I get?" students begin asking, "How can I improve?"

That shift helps create a classroom culture where feedback drives learning.

When students regularly revise their work, they begin to view mistakes as opportunities for learning rather than signs of failure. Over time, this helps build persistence, confidence, and a stronger sense of ownership over their learning.
