An Evaluation into the use of the Turning Point mobile app. Purpose: The purpose of this survey is to enable staff at the University to evaluate the use of TurningPoint App:- • Influence use of the App by staff • Evaluate the impact of this App on the learner experience • Ascertain the initial usability of the App for both staff and learners.

  2. An Evaluation into the use of the Turning Point mobile app. Assessment and Feedback: • This research investigates the use of innovative mobile app for use with Turning Point Technologies to facilitate both summative and formative feedback • Success requires student engagement:- • Student engagement is a critical determinant in student success (Ooms, 2008). • Student engagement can be enhanced through the adoption and integration of learning technologies, (Fry, 2009).

  3. An Evaluation of the use of the Turning Point mobile app. Introduction The App • Smartphone version of TurningPoint • Students use App for iOS/Android phones • Results are gathered via the Web • Results shown in TurningPoint • Students have more functionality than previously • text-answers/short paragraphs/calculations etc • Results sent back to students as graphs • No need for Participant Lists as students log in • Works fully with TurningPoint so no-one is excluded

  4. I own a Smart Phone / iPad type devise that will operate the ResponseWare App?

  5. Did you use the ResponseWare App?

  6. The App provides me with clarity about what good performance means? ‘keeps questions and answers logged’

  7. The App helps me to think and reflect about how my work is assessed? ‘significant step towards continuous assessment’

  8. The App helps improve my knowledge and understanding

  9. The App allows teaching staff to provide learners with timely feedback (i.e. fast turnaround)?

  10. The App motivates me to think and act on feedback received?

  11. The App enhances discussions around learning between student and teacher?

  12. Provides a supportive learning environment for students?

  13. TurningPointwas an easy tool to learn how to use ?

  14. I would like to use this tool again (e.g. in other classes / modules)? ‘User Friendly’

  15. The instruction provided about the use of this tool was satisfactory? I encountered technical difficulties with the use of TurningPoint ?

  16. TurningPoint is a beneficial instructional tool for all students to use? ‘The App is easy to use’ ‘Unprofessional looking’

  17. Student Feedback • ‘sometimes have problems with connection’ • ‘quick response’ • ‘very handy’ • ‘can be slow when there is a big class’ • ‘unprofessional look’

  18. Staff / UU Advantages Responseware: • The ‘App’ makes preparation easier, as we don't have to prepare participant lists • No need to buy handsets (approx £25 each) Generally: • Best used for informal, engaging class quizzes. • Students ENJOY engaging in the quizzes. • Provide staff with feedback.

  19. Staff / UU Disadvantages Responseware: • Reliant on the students entering the correct data • Reliant on the room having adequate wi-fi signal. • Requires a license / registration (£7per student) Generally: • Not suitable for proper tests - difficult to invigilate in tight / compact classrooms. • Preparation of quizzes (technically easy – but time taken thinking)

  20. Moving forward • Examine why uptake in of the App was low • Identify Wi-Fi hotspots • Further comparison of the overall satisfaction with App and handset. • Benefit between different year groups
