Abstract

Feedback is traditionally seen as a delivery process with teachers providing written comments on students' work (e.g. National Student Survey). A more sophisticated conceptualisation is that feedback derives from multiple sources (self, peers, tutors), is varied in form (written, oral, vicarious) and does not occur at a single point in time. New technologies have the power to support an enhanced feedback model where feedback is dialogical, shared, varied and ongoing. In this presentation principles of effective feedback will be proposed and examples of technology-supported practices outlined. The presentation will draw on the findings of the Re-engineering Assessment Practices (REAP) project, funded by the Scottish Funding Council under its e-Learning Transformation initiative (see www.reap.ac.uk) and on strategic developments at Strathclyde and Glasgow Universities. Participants will also have opportunities to think about how they might enhance their own assessment and feedback practices.
