Disapproving With Feedback

Disapproving With Feedback

When disapproving a post, teachers are given the option to provide feedback on the post before the post is sent to the students Drafts. 

If you do not wish to provide feedback, simply click the "x" to dismiss the box. The post will be marked as "Disapproved" and sent to the student's "Drafts."

To disapprove and provide feedback using the Activity Feed:
  1. Click "Disapprove" or slide the approval slider on the post to "Disapprove." The teacher feedback shadowbox automatically opens.
  2. Compose feedback in the box provided. Then click the "Send" button. When this action is completed the following happens:
    1. The post is returned to the student's "Drafts" with feedback attached.
    2. The student is sent a message in their "Messages" containing the feedback and informing them of the disapproval. 
Tip: Click the "Please don’t show this again” box to dismiss the feedback box for the remainder of that session.
