Build trust with reviews
Students around the world trust G-Talent reviews and ratings. Thanks to reviews and ratings, potential students can determine which courses and teachers suit their needs. As an instructor, it is important for students to leave comments and feedback. Reviews and ratings give the course social credibility.
Why is it important?
Reviews are essential for new courses and instructors. Set a goal of getting four to 10 reviews when you start your course. That's a great start to your research.
Student feedback is very important. Negative reviews help us understand how we can improve our courses. Improving your course will earn you more positive reviews. Positive reviews help increase the credibility of your course and make it more likely that new students will enroll.
Invite students to share their ratings and comments from the beginning of the course so you can learn directly from them.
Tips for getting ratings and reviews
Here are some tips to get more feedback and ratings for your course:
Communicate with students. Ask for grades and feedback in your course introduction videos, automated welcome messages, direct messages, instructor emails, or between classes.
Run at the optimal time. If you want to get feedback during the course, do so within the first 15 minutes. Students are asked to write comments at this point, so it's important to make a good impression. Incorporate engaging activities that motivate and motivate students, and grade them.
-
Emphasize your importance. Remind them that their feedback is important and will help improve the course materials and overall learning experience for future students.
Ask an expert. Ask local colleagues to review the course and provide feedback or leave an honest review. Ask students to mention their work experience in their evaluation so they can be sure the course is up to par with their level.
Respond to ratings and reviews
Use the reviews you receive as an opportunity to communicate with your students and learn more. Respond to all positive and negative reviews and ratings.
Here are some tips to help you answer correctly:
When responding to ratings and reviews , you should always credit the student by name and thank them for enrolling in the course.
-
Ratings higher than 4 stars. It is important to value the student's effort for the great work they have done.
Ratings below 4 stars. As well as positive feedback, it is also valuable to acknowledge negative feedback and provide positive solutions such as course improvements or additional materials. For example: "(Name), thank you for your review. Is there anything you think we could add or change about the course to make it better? Thank you for your feedback."
Star ratings (no text). Ask students to provide more specific information. Gently remind them that other students can see their responses. For example: "Thank you, (name). You said that neither X nor Y met your expectations. What do you think could be done to improve these parts of the course?"
Benefit from reviews and comments
-
Use positive reviews to your advantage. Please use it at the beginning of the course. Mention it in the course description in your email, social media, and on the course landing page.
Use negative feedback and reviews to improve. If your students keep pointing out that something is missing in your course, consider adding more content or adjusting your description to clarify your goals. Respond to reviews immediately to let them know you're fixing them, and respond later when you make changes. Students love attention. Make sure all students are notified of course updates through announcements.
