    1. One huge advantage to scaling up is that you’ll get far more feedback for your Insight through making process. It’s true that Effective system design requires insights drawn from serious contexts of use, but it’s possible to create small-scale serious contexts of use which will allow you to answer many core questions about your system.

      Even though a larger user base will increase your odds of getting more feedback, you can still get valuable contextual feedback with less users.

    1. Ericsson claims (2016, p. 98) that there is no deliberate practice possible for knowledge work because there are no objective criteria (so, poor feedback), because the skills aren’t clearly defined, and because techniques for focused skill improvement in these domains aren’t known.

      According to Ericsson deliberate practice for knowledge work is not possible because the criteria are not objective (you don't know if you're doing well).

      This collides with Dr. Sönke Ahrens' contention that note taking, specifically elaboration, instantiates two feedback loop. One feedback loop in that you can see whether you're capturing the essence of what you're trying to make a note on and a second feedback loop in that you can see whether your note is not only an accurate description of the original idea, but also a complete one.

      Put differently, note taking instantiates two feedback loops. One for precision and one for recall.

    1. There are many other factors that also aren't obvious so as much as suggestions for improvements are very welcomed, please keep in mind that they may not work in the broader sense of what's required to run this project.
    2. I'll get a gazillion suggestions of how I could do this differently. Every single time I talk about the mechanics of how I've built something I always do

    1. Don't be discouraged when you get feedback about a method that isn't all sunshine and roses. Facets has been around long enough now that it needs to maintain a certain degree of quality control, and that means serious discernment about what goes into the library. That includes having in depth discussions the merits of methods, even about the best name for a method --even if the functionality has been accepted the name may not.

    1. Collaboration is not consensus When collaborating it is always important to stay above radar and work transparently, but collaboration is not consensus. You don't need to ask people for their input, and they shouldn't ask you "Why didn't you ask me?" You don't have to wait for people to provide input, if you did ask them. We believe in permissionless innovation- you don't need to involve people but everyone can contribute. This is core to how we iterate, since we want smaller teams moving quickly rather than large teams achieving consensus slowly.
    2. We do the smallest thing possible and get it out as quickly as possible.
    3. We should counteract that by having short toes and feel comfortable letting others contribute to our domain.
    4. Give negative feedback in the smallest setting possible.
    1. it is worth opening a merge request with the minimal viable change instead of opening an issue encouraging open feedback on the problem without proposing any specific change directly.
    1. Wouldn't let me annotate a selection on this page:

      Reinforce your feedback loop

      The Timeline centralizes all your changes. It allows customers to browse updates, share and send feedback. Collected reactions provide the right information for improving your product and reducing churn.

    1. We check in our code at the entry point of a pipeline, version control (Git and Github in our case), and then it’s taken through a series of steps aimed at assuring quality and lowering risk of releases. Automation helps us keep these steps out of our way while maintaining control through fast feedback loops (context-switching is our enemy). If any step of the pipeline breaks (or fails) we want to be alerted in our communication channel of choice (in our case Slack), and it needs to happen as quickly as possible while we’re in the right context.
    1. Feedback needs to be specific in nature, as well as confirmatory and corrective. This way the learners know what they did right and wrong.

      how to give feedback

    1. You can contact me via anything listed in the Contact section - preferably E-Mail or Matrix. Other places to give feedback are GitHub (Issues, Stars, Following) and Google Play.

    1. F = ma qüvvənin obyektə necə təsir etdiyini izah edir, bu təsirin baş vermə səbəblərini yox. Təkamül nəzəriyyəsi (orijinal adı ilə desək, təbii seçmə nəzəriyyəsi) isə təbiətdə müşahidə olunan fenomenlərin səbəb mexanizmlərini açıqlayır.

      Bu paraqrafı bir az genişlətmək lazımdır. Bir düsturun təsvir etmə funksiyası ilə səbəb-nəticə əlaqəsini açıqlaması arasında nə fərq var tam olaraq? Nəticədə təbii seçmənin də riyazi modelləri var, onu da riyazi şəkildə formallaşdırmaq mümkündür (F=ma-dan daha qəlizdir, amma fərqli riyazi modellər hazırlayırlar adamlar. Burdan baxa bilərsən çox dərinə getmədən: https://www.quantamagazine.org/mathematics-shows-how-to-ensure-evolution-20180626/).

    2. Terminologiya ilə başını ağrıtmaq istəməyənlər

    3. qanunlar və nəzəriyyələr arasında səviyyə yox, kateqoriya fərqi var.

    4. Çağdaş təkamül nəzəriyyəsi Darvininkindən xeyli fərqlənir. 20-ci əsrin əvvəllərində Mendel genetikası və Darvinizmin birləşməsi ilə “modern sintez” ortaya çıxdı. Bu nailiyyətin arxasında Dobrjanski, Fisher, Huxley kimi elm adamları dururdu, Darvin yox.

      Çağdaş təkamül nəzəriyyəsi Darwininkindən necə fərqlənir? Sadaladığın adamların əsas töhfələri nə olub məsələyə? Modern sintez tam olaraq nədir? Bütün bunları açmaq lazımdır ictimaiyyət üçün yazılmış məqalədə, çünki bu şəkildə ancaq naməlum elmi səslənən şeylər və adam adları kimi gəlir adi oxucuya.

    5. üzərindən keçdiyimiz çox məqam var.

      Məncə miflər onların tarixçəsini öyrənmək üçün yaxşı bəhanədirlər. Ona görə, məncə bu paraqrafı genişlədib ideyanın necə yarandığını, fərqli dövrlərdə hansı forma aldığını, Darwinə qədər necə inkişaf etdiyini açsan çox əla olar.

    6. təkzib olunsa

      Lamarck sonradan təkzib olunmayıb, bu düzgün fikir deyil. Epigenetika sahəsi əslində Lamarckian mexanizmləri araşdırır.

    7. naturalistlər

    8. 19-cu əsrə qədər təkamül Dekart, Leybniz, Herber və hətta Darvinin babası Erasmus kimi bir çox intellektual tərəfindən müxtəlif formalarda müzakirə edilmişdi.

      Bu özü-özlüyündə çox maraqlı bir-iki paraqrafın mövzusudur. Əgər vaxtın varsa adlarını çəkdiyin adamların işlərində təkamül söhbəti necə keçib (yaxşı olardı ki, birbaşa sitat gətirərdin hansısa əsərlərindən) onu araşdırıb bunu bir paraqrafa çevirərdin. Çox maraqlı tarixi yazı olardı bu detalları genişləndirsən.

    9. Söhbət dünyanın yaranması ilə bağlı miflərdən getmir (bunların tarixi daha qədimə dayansa da mövzumuzla bir o qədər də əlaqəli deyil). Təkamül fikrinin elmi müstəvidə ilk təhlili Empedokla aid edilir. O, ibtidai formada da olsa, insanlar da daxil olmaqla bütün canlıların mənşəyini izah etməyə çalışır.

      Bunu bir az araşdırıb inkişaf etdirsən çox yaxşı olar. Məsələn, Empedokl özü nə yazıb, onun yazdıqları haqda hardan/kimdən öyrənirik, və s.

    10. Darvindən

      Orijinalı latın əlifbası ilə yazılan adları olduğu kimi yazırıq, yəni Darvin yox Darwin. Amma adın orijinalı başqa əlifbada yazılıbsa bunu transliterasiya edirik, məsələn, Puşkin.

    1. could both study and create “non-print,” “electronic,” and “visual” texts

      Perhaps because I studied Calkins and Atwell, with an emphasis in the work of James Moffett, a transition through workshop to applying technology was easier than for those who had not, and still have not, experienced the personal and individual nature of a writer. The emphasis is on the writer as a writer.

    1. Prepare some inviting questions.

      This is perhaps the most important step in the process. DO NOT simply request "Thoughts?" or "Please check out my site and let me know what I can do to make it better." These types of messages offer the reviewer nothing to work with.

      The examples listed in this section are relevant to career evaluation/feedback, but here are some potential questions for requesting constructive critique of your ePortfolio:

      • *My goal is to emphasize my leadership skills and experience. Does this ePortfolio communicate that?
      • Does the order/organization of this site make sense? Are things located where you think they should be? For example, do you think my Collaboratory experience should be moved to the technology page?
      • Did you feel any of the reflections were insufficient in terms of detail and development? Were there any that you had questions about after reading?*

    1. Responding to criticism:

      • Acknowledge each point.
      • Explain how you agree, and what you intend to do to improve, or
      • explain why you object to that point.

      They might give you additional useful opinions. They might not respond at all. If you get a response that is antagonistic, it's time to let it drop.

    2. A good critic who pans your work should be doing it as a service to your potential audience while giving you honest feedback that you can use to improve (or move on to something else).

      Sometimes the problem isn’t with what you’re doing but how it is perceived by others, and even here the critic can show you how to tune your message so what people hear is what you intend to say.

    1. providing students and their teachers with more rapid, useful feedback to inform their learning all along the way.

      H clearly does this.

    1. by inserting comments in the audio recordings they’d submit to me (as opposed to worrying about whether or not it was ok to correct their French in class in front of their peers… something I had always been hesitant to do in spite of – or perhaps because of – what had been done to me!) or by recording an audio walkthrough of suggestions and corrections to the first drafts of their compositions (instead of handing back a blood-red “fixed” version of a composition in class).

    1. All of us recognize that students’ communication skills benefit greatly from substantial amounts of writing. But many faculty members limit the amount of assigned writing because drafting comments and grading is too time-consuming. But one can imagine other ways to give students more opportunities to write while ensuring that they receive valuable feedback. These might include peer or near peer feedback, using carefully designed rubrics, or even a degree of auto feedback.
    1. L’enseignant joue quatre rôles distincts : celui de client, qui juge l’adéquation du produit au cahier des charges, celui d’expert technique, en cas de difficulté bloquante, celui de chef d’entreprise lorsque cela s’impose et que des décisions autoritaires (concernant les coûts, les délais ou les méthodes) doivent être prises pour empêcher l’échec du projet, et enfin le rôle traditionnel de tuteur.
    1. The success of Arduino has had the perhaps retrograde effect of convincing an entire generation that the way to sense and actuate the physical world is through imperative method calls in C++, shuffling bits and writing to ports, instead of in an environment designed around signal processing, control theory, and rapid and visible exploration. As a result, software engineers find a fluid, responsive programming experience on the screen, and a crude and clumsy programming experience in the world.
    2. But the idea that you might implement a control system in an environment designed for designing control systems — it hasn’t been part of the thinking. This leads to long feedback loops, inflexible designs, and guesswork engineering. But most critically, it denies engineers the sort of exploratory environment that fosters novel ideas.

      On short feed back loops and modelling, this talk from Markus Denker, one of the main architects behind Pharo Smalltalk, can be enlightening: Perfection & Feedback Loops, or: why worse is better

    7. The Power of Feedback

      Hattie, John, and Helen Timperley. 2007. “The Power of Feedback.” Review of Educational Research 77 (1): 81–112. doi:10.3102/003465430298487.

      Should discuss student-to-teacher feedback

    1. Nor- mative grades provide information about proficiency relative to others; they do not provide clear standards for self-evalua- tion or for constructive attribution (Nisan, 1981). Our finding that 50% of the pupils who received no feedback would rather have received a grade may seem compatible with the argu- ments of many teachers that pupils themselves want grades

      Grades provide information about relative proficiency not clear standards for self-evaluation.

      But students would still rather have then than nothing (50%). However, of graded students, 78.9% would rather have comments than grades.

    2. in the grades group, 26.7% attributed effort to the desire to avoid poor scores, and 34.4% attributed it to the importance of success, whereas among those who received no feedback only 7.2% attributed effort to the desire to avoid poor scores and 40% attributed it to the "positive" aspect of need achievement, the desire to succeed.

      Grades group:

      • 26.7% attributed effort to avoid failure
      • 34.4% to desire for success

      In non-grades group:

      • 7.2% to avoid failure
      • 40% to need for achievement, desire to succeed.
    3. subjects who received written comments expressed greater interest in the tasks than did those in the other two groups, especially for the question requiring greatest commitment -- the number of extra tasks chosen

      Subjects who received written comments expressed greater intrinsic motivation,

    4. Even though the findings of much previous research, which compared motivation after a single trial under extrinsic and no-incentive conditions, implied that if "left alone," in- trinsic motivation for an initially interesting task would remain stable and high, our conception suggested that, in fact, re- peated nonreceipt of feedback would undermine interest. We also predicted that numerical grades would foster extrinsic mo- tivation at the expense of intrinsic motivation. The results showed clearly differential effects of these kinds of feedback on per- formance.

      This is an interesting point with regard to my practice: 100% for effort and no feedback is worse than grades, because it means there really is no feedback.

    5. Most studies of extrinsic incentives and intrinsic motivation, including those men- tioned earlier, used as controls subjects who received no rewards or feedback, apparently on the assumption that un- der these conditions original levels of intrinsic motivation would be maintained.

      make an interesting point that most studies assume that no-feedback is a status quo.

    6. The role of the availability of such information was studied in comparison with conditions of nonreceipt of any information and of receipt of normative evaluation.

      Compared it to grades only and no-feedback.

    7. We expected that receipt of indiviaualized, specific, non-normative information about task performance, includ- ing both positive and negative comments, would maintain or even enhance subsequent motivation.

      Hypothesis: that individualized, non-normative information about performance would maintain or enhance motivation.

    8. The present research was thus designed to study the ef- fects of different feedback conditions on intrinsic motiva- tion.

      I love the pics and the captions help us understand their connection to the messages above and how they take use even closer to you. I am wondering about their placement on the page. Is there a way to break up the text or move beyond the centered alignment for the whole page? It feels awkward.

    1. :)

      This gives me a feel for the casual tone you're working to strike, but I'm wondering if given the initial clause about letting us in on a secret, you might end the sentence with a ... for drama instead and to fend off some of the more conservative audience members who might judge you for using emoticons as a teacher (I don't, but have their imaginary lenses on my shoulder as I read).

    2. About me

      I love the pallette of the whitewashed fence and your image below. They're aligned, so to speak. That being said, the mint green of the title of the page gets a little lost. I wonder if you might bump it up and provide a bit more contrast.

    3. I will keep y'all posted while working with these kiddos.

      I appreciate that you're speaking to me as an audience. This is also giving me a sense of how you will use this site right now (purpose), to check in and consider the road to your first position as you move through the st. ed's program.

    1. She is the reason I want to work with students.

      Sounds like a real inspiration. I wonder if you might quote her? I am also looking at this and wondering about balance. How can we fit you and your strengths back into this page before we leave it, as readers? Is there a way to bring us back to you through a moment mentioning the image or the metaphor it might illustrate, experience it conveys about you and who you are as an educator? (just brainstorming)

    2. The next step I am planning to get my masters in Speech Pathology in hopes of someday working with the deaf who are hoping to become vocal. For now, I plan on focusing in the field of Special Education.

      Having a multi-tiered, detailed plan really establishes your credibility as a serious student of special education.

    1. People rightly tend to be mean to those they are sure are assholes, so continued interaction between them will probably only serve to reinforce their beliefs the other is acting in bad faith.

      This reminds me of the situation of a parrot in front of a mirror. Will he fall in love with the other, or will he start hating him, ignoring the fact that he is only seeing his reflection? Once he starts acting on one of the affections, positive feedback kicks in.

    1. Whether or not you take a constructivist view of education, feedback on performance is inevitably seen as a crucial component of the process. However, experience shows that students (and academic staff) often struggle with feedback, which all too often fails to translate into feed-forward actions leading to educational gains. Problems get worse as student cohort sizes increase. By building on the well-established principle of separating marks from feedback and by using a social network approach to amplify peer discussion of assessed tasks, this paper describes an efficient system for interactive student feedback. Although the majority of students remain passive recipients in this system, they are still exposed to deeper reflection on assessed tasks than in traditional one-to-one feedback processes.

    1. On page reload the annotations are taking some time (10+ seconds) to load. Understandable with 20 people all adding things at once — any thought to a loading/progress indicator in the plugin itself?

    2. Interesting. My first (successful) login was met with the success message "your password has been reset."

    1. This doesn’t mean gossip is always good.

      I'm glad to see a statement that the results from this experiment in "procosial gossip" does not translate into meaning that gossip is always good.

      I wonder what insights we can take away from this and turn into action in our own environment?

      I feel the antidote we need is more meaningful and real-time feedback, not gossip.
