Taking note of your feedback
We greatly appreciate the time taken to provide us with feedback on each module. We regularly review all the feedback provided and use it to inform the development of new modules. Subject to funds being available and other constraints, we will amend existing modules where feedback shows this is required.Feedback from other members about this module
Give feedback and assessments back ASAP.
I believe, quality feedback is essential. E.g a cross or zero mark doesn't inform students about their possible misconceptions, while a written guidance or an open question can guide them to the right path. While I do agree with the importance of timely feedback, I don't agree with the 3rd statement being false.
Good recap on the importance of feedback through varied methods
Informative.
some good content
Good
I found this module to look at different ways of giving feedback but most important verbal feedback ASAP when practical observations. Ensuring feedback is given in a timely manner, is accurate and detailed to enable focus, identification of strengths, achievement, and where skills/knowledge require development.
Informative
Good reminder that feedback is vital to improving the learning for students
Digital teaching can never be as good as face-to-face but it's a good supplementary way of working, particularly now!
Quick and easy guidance. The resource links to academic research is good. My need is more around some practical tips and guidance on software. In this case it mentions voice to type software - I need to know what is good, what is free and maybe a link to how a colleague has used it well. In summary I am sold on the pedagogy so I need more on the practical side of the tech use.
Completed
thank u ....show answer is good
Expansion on feedback
I like the idea of voice feedback as i find most learners are more responsive and it can cut down on workload plus importantly feedback can be given quickly.
