Let's talk about feedback!

This is a nice overview of the concept of feedback in learning, complete with a set of useful resources at the end. I think the term is being used largely as a synonym for 'assessment', especially at the beginning of the article (which describes 'formative' and 'summative' feedback) but there is a recognition that "when it comes to feedback we still tend to see it (mostly) as a teacher-led process," which is what we think of when we think of assessment, but that "feedback needs to be more like a dialogue, a partnership between teachers and students and among students" and should include things like self-assessment and peer dialogue. If it were me, I would want to say 'feedback builds' while 'assessment corrects', but I'm not sure the author would draw such a distinction.
