Iteration 3 Findings
Though our increased attentiveness when providing feedback in order to establish personal connections with students in prompt and positive ways, and our introduction of video feedback may have had a positive impact on SOC, the improvement shown did not seem to justify the increased time and effort required to provide that type of feedback. At the same time, our blended learning model had matured, which we felt may be a cause of the improved SOC, as we felt we were better teachers than we had been at the beginning of the blended learning intervention. Thus, for this third iteration, we removed the requirement for instructors to follow the rigid guidelines for providing feedback, as described in Iteration 2. No other interventions were purposefully made to the course. There were minor changes to instructors and updates to course content; however, these changes are common in this course in each previous iteration.
