Feedback with screen capture

Saw screen capture in 2000. Had idea for 6 years before I finally experimented with it. First experiment was in 2006 with student from Athens on distance course. Later worked with a group of Chinese students on ELT courses. Now working with the idea on MA in ELT course. Many other members of staff within Warwick now using the idea too.

Feedback on Feedback.
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. Multimodal Student learning styles. Impact of feedback Style of feedback.

Flipping the idea

Students reflections. Get the students to use screen capture. Get students to reflect on some of the lessons/technologies I was experimenting with. Reflecting after teacher practice Student Reflections

What did we learn from the reflections?

Learnt Students often recommend content/videos from the web without fully understanding them. Action.. Need to build in checks and balances to make sure that they have read, watched and understood whatever content they are sharing. Learnt The way groups work varies enormously and results in some groups benefitting 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 be assigned a role.
