[myplace-announce] Sharing Technology Enhanced Practice: Using Feedback to enhance learning through the use of technology

[Sue Barnes]

Dear colleagues

The Learning Technology Enhancement team in discussion with the Education Strategy team have planned a series of events centred on the issue of Feedback to be held over the next few weeks. The first event which will explore feedback related issues will lead into the 3 shorter events, the "Lunch Bites" although each event will stand alone. Each lunch bite will present and consider how a technology enhanced tool available through Myplace has been and can be used to facilitate feedback activity. The events will be held in GH208, the main CAPLE teaching room and drinks and nibbles will be provided.

The first event is now available for booking at http://bookings.strath.ac.uk/courseDetails.asp?course=STEP. Details are as follows.

Monday 20th Feb 1-2pm

Using feedback to enhance learning at the University of Strathclyde

This event will explore feedback related issues within the context of the University of Strathclyde and beyond. Professor David Nicol will consider both the role of feedback in higher education and the conditions under which feedback would successfully enhance learning. Specific questions addressed include: What kinds of feedback will help develop students' own critical thinking? Should students be given experience in providing feedback not just consuming it? How can we reduce staff time in delivering feedback? How might we enhance students' engagement with feedback?
An overview of how technology enhanced systems for feedback that have been and can be implemented within the university will also be presented.

Cheers

Sue
