1. Online ‘personalised’ feedback – why, how and what impact?

2. Why think about ‘personalised’ feedback?
"For feedback to be really effective in stimulating and sustaining a cycle of academic development for a student, it has to place the student’s own position at the heart of the process….we should be thinking about whether… individual students have the tools they need to take that feedback and use it properly…
…The question is, how can we make our feedback process take into account each student’s whole academic journey, rather than just a single assignment, without creating a massive burden for the few academics who do see a student’s progress across the whole of their degree?“
A Personalised Feedback Cycle (By Caroline Hetherington and Louise Fearn)

3. How?
Examples of feedback (and feed forward) throughout the academic cycle
Face-to-face / online during teaching time
Formative assessment
Summative assessment

4. Electronic Voting Some Examples More resources
Engaging with students to provide immediate feedback in class
Electronic Voting
TurningPoint Cloud -
Poll Everywhere, 2sli.de, Mentimeter etc.
Study Space
Some Examples
More resources

5. Providing ongoing feedback in the online space
Study Space App
Anonymous question and answer – informs teaching
Student reflection
Blogging with staff/student commenting
Example
Using blogs for student reflections, content generation and
just-in-time feedback
(Dr Graham Low, University of York, 2011)
