Scenario 1

In 2000 I was thinking about studentsfeedback.

Worried about

-how students engage with the feedback

-auality of the feedback

-amount of feedback

-bringing feedback into the 21st Century

Using Screen Capture for

Feedback

First had idea in 2000.

However didnt realise just how easy it was to

create screen captures. Experimented with idea in 2006.

Led to widespread media interest.

Many institutions now experimenting with theidea including here in Norway.

Impacting on Quality

Students like the voice. Students feel it is more personal.

More information is conveyed.

Feedback can be elaborated on. Feedback can be very timely.

Like having the teacher sitting next to you.

MultimodalStudent learning styles. Idea can be flipped Students giving

reflections.

From Feedback to Reflection

Feedback is all about learning ( Vygotskys

ZPD).

Reflection does a similar thing but is perhapsmore cognitive and more connected to

Independent Learning.

My interest moved to getting the students toprovide their own reflections/feedback/peer

feedback.


10/20


Scenario 2-Reflection

We often get our students to reflect on their

lessons/dissertations/ learning.

Obvious techniques are

Using diaries

Questions

Tick box and check lists

Continually disappointed with the results

Students dont engage.

Reflections using myBrainShark

myBrainShark is a tool that allows students to

upload PP/Word/PDF documents and then

add their voice.

Free tool. Very simple to use.

I wanted to get my students to reflect on our

lessons.

I was introducing new technologies into the

class and wanted to understand their impact.


12/20


Different tools for the same

purpose.

What emerged from the experiment?

Students might be happier reflecting by creating audio

recordings.

Incredible amount of detail .

Discussion that was generated from the reflections was the

most importantplans of action.

Reflections provided information both for the teacher and for

the students.


14/20


What did we learn from the

reflections?

Learnt

Students often recommend content/videos from the web withoutfully understanding them.

Action..

Need to build in checks and balances to make sure that they haveread, watched and understood whatever content they are sharing.

Learnt

The way groups work varies enormously and results in some groupsbenefitting far more from certain activities than others.

Action Provide more detail at the start of a group activity about how the

groups should organise. For example that each member should beassigned a role.


15/20


Scenario 3-Reflection

I train teachers to use technology.

I needed a way for them to create content,

embed it and share with the rest of the group Set up reflective blogs which are assessed.

After the classes with me, students create

content, add it to their blog and reflect on it.


16/20


Scenario 3

Many students continue their blogs after the

course.

Blogs become an e-Portfolio of examples ofstudents work.

Builds atmosphere of sharing/community.

Conclusions

The use of ICT has to be driven by the

pedagogy.

It only makes sense to use it when it addsvalue to the teaching and learning.

It should be simple and easy to learn (barriers

to entry). ICT requires flexibility and room for

experimentation.
