5. Food for thought
Att: http://thereluctantrawfoodist.com/dementia-food-for-thought/
I seem to be doing something right-student feedback about my
courses ( see next pages)

6. Online Flipped
Classroom course with
NILE
• Really clever way of giving feedback Russell. I hadn’t thought of that
though I was familiar with screen capture.
• I liked the feedback. It really helped me to see where I can improve.
• ‘This one was very unique and I could hear Russell's intonation when
he was giving his feedback. It felt more’ personal.
• The feedback really adds value to the course.

7. Online Edmodo
Course-TTV.com
• I enjoyed the course. Your videos on Edmodo were really
useful and the feedback was really clear.
• Russell, how did you do the feedback on the course? It’s great.

8. Online Edmodo
Course-TTV.com
• Where I see my own page my own work and Russell gives
feedback about my tasks, I am so happy, it was so cool, This is
the first time that I got a feedback by this way, it is very useful,
thank you,for make me feel good guide me well in this course!
• Immediate and innovative explanations.

Course Survey

10. Examples
Examples of how I give feedback
• University MA ELT
• Feedback on vocabulary
• Feedback on a M level lit review
• Feedback on presentations

11. Screen Cast
Technology
• First had idea after seeing screen capture software at BETT
conference.
First two articles
• Modern English Teacher June 2006.
• Times Newspaper 2006.
Att: https://www.linkedin.com/topic/creativity

12. Findings from
research
• Can give much more feedback
• Visual and oral
• More engaging
• More personal
• Useful for revision
• Flexible
• Distance Learning
• Special needs
• Clearer

13. Emerging themes
Closeness to teacher
• There is reason to claim that through the use of screen
capture as a medium of feedback, a closeness desired by
students is created with their teachers. (Mathison 2012, p.
110)
• “Using audio feedback is a very useful way of giving feedback.
It makes me feel as if you are besides me. It is easier to
comprehend what kind of idea you want to communicate to
me. I appreciate that. I think I will use audio feedback with my
TLs in the future”. (Mann 2015, p.162)

14. Personal
• “It was a very positive, personalised and motivating
experience.” (Harper el al. 2012, p.6)
Use and reuse/more than a conference
• the ability to rewind and stop their teacher at will is an
advantage that screencasting offers over face-to-face
conferences. Indeed, with screencasting, students can access
live comments without the affective stress typically associated
with having their teacher present. (Serror 2012, p.110)

15. Detail
In summary, students signal the following quite clearly: video
comments are regarded as being more precise and nuanced
than written feedback, and as such give students a greater
amount of inspiration and motivation when completing future
academic work. Similarly, learning dividends increase as do
opportunities for processing feedback and achieving a closer
relationship with the course teacher. (Mathison 2012, p.111)

16. Questions
• What do the students do with the videos?
• Why are they more engaging?
Improvements
• How can it become more dialogic?
Recent research

17. NewResearch2017
Largecrosssectionofcourses
• Teacher Training Course-Flipped Classroom ( About 80
participants).
• Edmodo course ( 50 participants).
• Edmodo course for E-twinning ( 47 students).
• MA TESOL NILE.
• Work in other institutions ( East Med University Cyprus).
• 7 M level students doing research.

18. Theme 1-
Theme-Language Modifiers-Chatty style
Comments-Personal, Dialogic, Non threatening
Hyland and Hyland-2001 / Steve Man-2015
There is evidence that spoken feedback makes greater use of modality and
hedging which help sweeten the pill (Hyland and Hyland 2001).

19. Theme 2
Inner voice
Comments-Clear, Detailed, Easy to follow,
Thompson and Lee 2012
Tutors are often having an ‘in the head’ internal dialogue while marking a
student’s work

20. Theme 3
Teacher Presence
Comments-Closeness to teacher, relationship with teacher
Richardson and Swan
Teacher presence is a key element in the success of blended and distance
learning courses.

21. How peopleusethe

• I listened a couple of times on my mobile but also listened to
it on my computer.

• What I liked about the video feedback is that I could access it
on my mobile.

23. Screen capture is
everywhere.
• All the content on the Khan Academy.
• Large amount of content in MOOCS. Coursera/
FutureLearn/Udemy.
• Most of the content created by Aaron Sams/Jonathan
Bergmann ( Flipped Classroom).
• All the help videos on YouTube.
• The whole of my website.
• All the recorded PowerPoints on YouTube.

24. Some examples
Students make videos
• This student has recorded themselves giving a PowerPoint
presentation.
Information for students
• Talking over a table
Blended Learning /Flipped Learning content
• Flipped Classroom Lecture

25. Getting screen
cast technology.
