Improving Feedback / Reducing Workload

 

According to the research, faculty feedback to students plays a significant role in student satisfaction and learning in distance education courses. However, timely and detailed feedback often requires a significant investment of time and resources. In this session, several time saving & cost saving audio and video feedback strategies will be addressed and demonstrated.  By the end of the session, you will:

  • learn about several free (or nearly-free!) web 2.0 tools that can be used to provide audio/video feedback to students,
  • discuss strategies for implementing the demonstrated tools,
  • and take away tutorial and tip sheets for each of the tools demonstrated.
