Abstract:
Feedback nationally has been consistently identified as an area for improvement through the National Student Survey. Screencasting has been identified as a form of technology that can help improve student perception of the feedback that they receive. It is also an approach associated with benefits for those who provide feedback. This session will explore, in detail, the benefits of adopting screencasting to both student and staff and will share the findings of a HECSU-funded research project conducted at Keele University. The research project explored the impact of adopting screencasting on the quality of feedback, in terms of depth, level of understanding, the extent to which the feedback is perceived as more personal and the impact of introducing this approach on learning gain.
