Feedback in LearnWorkly works both ways. Once you have left feedback on an answer, the student can reply under it, for example to explain their thinking or to ask a question. Each question has its own conversation, so nothing gets mixed up.
How a conversation works
- 1
You send feedback
Open the student’s answer on the live view and send a comment, a voice note or a drawing.
- 2
The student replies
Under the question, in the Teacher feedback box, the student types in Reply to your teacher… and presses Send.
- 3
You see the reply
The student’s card shows a new badge, and in the Gradebook a dot appears on that question’s cell.
- 4
You answer
Open the answer. The whole exchange is under Conversation; write your answer and press Send.
Good to know
- Students can reply once there is feedback from you on that question; they cannot start a conversation on their own.
- Students reply in writing. Voice notes and drawings are for your feedback.
- Replies appear on your live view as soon as they are sent, without refreshing.
- Students can reply while they work, after they submit and after the assignment is closed.
Frequently asked questions
Do I get an email when a student replies?
No. Replies show on the live view of the assignment, with a new badge on the student’s card.
Can other students see the conversation?
No. Each conversation is only between you and that student.
