  1. A TurningPoint for student feedback Dr Sara Marsham School of Marine Science and Technology sara.marsham@ncl.ac.uk

  2. Have you used TurningPoint in one of your sessions? • Yes • No 0 of 30

  3. Just One Thing… • Trialled TurningPoint to collect student feedback • Three modules – one from each Level • MST1001; MST2012; MST3019/3095/3096/3099

  4. Or via Blackboard

  5. Disadvantages • Low response from students • Lack of dialogue between students and staff • Time consuming for Module Leader • Students not clear if/how feedback used CLOSE THE FEEDBACK LOOP

  6. MST1001 Biodiversity of Marine Animals

  7. MST3019/3095/3096/3099 Research Project modules • Oral feedback from students noted during session and discussed at that time • Formal written response generated by teaching team • All feedback put on Blackboard and in Module Boxes

  8. How do you rate using TurningPoint for collecting module feedback? • Not quicker • Good method but used at wrong time • Good to see response - shows that staff look at and respond to answers/comments Level 4 - 32 responses 47 registered students - 68% return Level 6 - 40 responses 43 registered students - 87% return Level 5 - 21 responses 48 registered students - 44% return

  9. Do you prefer the paper form or this interactive method? • Prefer not to see responses as bar chart – uncomfortable that answers were visible to everyone Level 4 - 33 responses 47 registered students Level 6 - 39 responses 43 registered students Level 5 - 21 responses 48 registered students

  10. Evaluation Problems • Timing of feedback sessions • Testing handsets at start of session • Students submitting the ‘wrong’ response • Not all students answered every question Improvements • Longer, dedicated feedback session • Fully explain benefits of using TurningPoint to students • Amend/reduce questions asked

  11. Overall positive response from students • Staff believe trials were successful Do you prefer the paper form or this interactive method? How do you rate using TurningPoint for collecting module feedback?

  12. Acknowledgments • QuILT for providing funding through their ‘Just One Thing’ project • Dr Ben Wigham (Module Leader for MST2012) • Prof Matt Bentley (Module Leader for MST3019/3095/3096/3099) Thank you for listening Any questions?
