Presentation Transcript

  1. Screen Captured Video Feedback to Enhance Engagement with Laboratory Practical Work Stephen McClean School of Biomedical SciencesUniversity of Ulster Twitter: @PlanetChemistry Blog: StephenMcClean.com Email: s.mcclean@ulster.ac.uk

  2. BMS105 Introductory Chemistry • Chemistry ‘service teaching’ module • Provides foundational chemistry for further study in biochemistry, clinical biochemistry, molecular biology etc. • Taken by students in Biomedical Sciences, Human Nutrition, Food and Nutrition, Dietetics & Biology • 140+ students in each academic year

  3. Promoting Engagement Pre-Lab

  4. Feedback After Practical

  5. Promoting Engagement Pre-Lab

  6. Video Part 1 – Feedback on Practical

  7. Video Part 2 – Preview of Next Practical

  8. Video Part 3 – Learning for Next Practical

  9. Text message & email alerts when video feedback is available…

  10. Online Feedback Provided… • You Tube screencast video • Screencast video on module website • MP3 audio file Image credit: bit.ly/1n2e3Dd

  11. What did our students say? • Students “dynamically surveyed” during semester one (2013/14) when feedback was being provided • Turning Point audience response system used • Typically n= 80 students per survey • Full evaluation and focus group to be convened in April 2014 Image credit: bit.ly/1jZkUsy

  12. So far my preferred means of receiving notifications about BMS105 is: • Email • Text Message • Twitter • Facebook • In-class announcements

  13. When I receive a text message with a link to feedback online I will most likely…. • Click the link immediately • Wait until I am at a PC and then type in the link • Wait for the link to be sent by email & then access it • Go straight to Planet Chemistry and look for the link • Other…..

  14. I find that video feedback is not useful • Strongly Agree • Agree • Somewhat Agree • Neutral • Somewhat Disagree • Disagree • Strongly Disagree

  15. It is very important that feedback materials should be supplied so that they may be readily accessed on a mobile device... • Strongly Agree • Agree • Somewhat Agree • Neutral • Somewhat Disagree • Disagree • Strongly Disagree

  16. Given one choice the type of feedback I prefer would be…. • Verbal, in class • Personalised MP3 Audio • Personalised Video • Written comments on submitted work • Other

  17. “..I am able to receive oral feedback while following along with the video and step by step on the practical sheet in order to see where I went wrong. However written feedback is my most preferred mode of feedback.”  “..written feedback has been more useful, video has helped with calculations.”

  18. Final Reflections • Generic video feedback useful for large numbers of students • Opportunities for further learning may be incorporated such as video tutorials, calculations, techniques etc. • Individual feedback may be offered on electronic submissions of essays, literature reviews etc. • Further reading: The use of video technology for providing feedback to students: Can it enhance the feedback experience for staff and students? bit.ly/CrookEtAl2012

  19. Final Reflections • Range of screen capture tools available such as Camtasia, Jing (free) and Screenr (free) • Can be initially time consuming to create screen captured learning resources but it is a worthwhile investment! • Once created they may be distributed widely
