Video-based feedback

Path toward student centered learning

Abstract

Sufficient feedback is in the core of Student centred-learning. Text based feedback has certain limitations and can be seen by students as generic rather than personalised. Video feedback is welcoming alternative to personalised and individualised reflection on student's works and greatly valued by students. Such personalised connection between tutor and students increases student's own motivation and enhances possibility for self-assessment and self-reflection. Computer software for screen capture and audio narration have been used to create videos which are provided to students as a video-based feedback. The video-based feedback has been made using student's electronic submissions and narration which are audio and video recorded. Webcam has been used to capture tutor's facial expression to make whole experience even more personalised. Initial video-based feedback pilot created positive reaction among students indicating that further experimenting is greatly desirable.
