Recussive feedback implies this constant dialogue between students and teachers and among students themselves. It is true that students and teachers have to be trained in this process of multiple sources and perspectives (Bill Cope). As Dr. Bill Cope has highlighted, I also believe that recursive feedback has to do with looking back but also with looking forward. There is something else for students to move on, and they need to know how. So, this process of learning has to do with feedback and feedforward, that is with formative assessment. Students should receive comments on what they have created (right and not so right), and on what else they can do to continue progressing (Add a new topic, use a new writing technique, add an opinion to the draft).
When learners are working on collaborative learning communitities, and the rules are well-established, students are excellent at providing peer-feedback. They feel responsible for what they do and say, and their level of engagement and commitment increases. As a EFL teacher, I have experienced that computer-mediated learning spaces that allow for collaboration and peer feedback makes those shy learners speak out and improve their confirdence and active participation by using dialogues of a variety of topics. So, I totally support Bill Cope and Mary Kalantzis's arguments in this particular topic. Thanks for sharing such great-presented video lectures.
