  1. BLE Seminar: Exploring the use of digital technologies to enhance assessment and feedback Considering the impact of audio feedback Joanna Stroud London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine

  2. Overview • Background and context • Our findings in brief • Understanding and recollection • Emotional impact • Overall satisfaction • Good practice

  3. Context Feedback is… • key indicator of teaching quality • a problem area • “fraught with challenges” Vorvick, et al. (2008: p.540)

  4. Context Audio can… • reinforce the “professional bond between tutor and tutee” Evans & Palacios (2010: p.4) • offer rich, more detailed feedback • provoke an emotional response 'Mouth speaking'. Naraosga-stock 2005-2013. http://goo.gl/FfxzR7. Creative Commons: Some Rights Reserved.

  5. Context For diverse students… • “getting formative feedback… is essential to feelings of confidence” Shanahan (2000: p.153) • perception of quality can vary • external responsibilities can affect engagement

  6. Methodology • Mixed-methods • Literature review • Delivery and survey • Responses analysed according to demographics and identified themes

  7. Sample Response rates • Mature 68% (24 of 38) • Traditional 61% (41 of 67) Learning contracts • Mature cohort 25% (6) • Traditional cohort 51% (21)

  8. Results: access How soon after receiving your audio file did you listen to it?

  9. Results: Understanding and Recollection To what extent did you understand the feedback comments made by your tutor?

  10. Results: Understanding and Recollection Has the provision of audio feedback files made it easier for you to recall or remember the feedback you have received?

  11. Results: Emotional Impact How will the feedback you received impact upon your performance in similar types of assessment in future?

  12. Results: Overall Satisfaction On a scale of 1-5 with 1 being very negative and 5 being very positive, please tell us how you feel about use of audio feedback in general.

  13. Results: Future Preferences In future I would like to receive my feedback in:

  14. Limitations • Single institution and faculty • Differently weighted assessments • Lack of uniformity in delivery • Students unfamiliar with type of feedback

  15. Best Practice Guidelines Be prepared • Plan and design approach • Get comfortable with technology

  16. Best Practice Guidelines Be clear • Brief students • Manage expectations • Highlight support

  17. Best Practice Guidelines Be yourself • Focus on the student • Consider tone • Speak naturally

  18. Questions?
