Immersive Feedback to Improve Student Learning Presentation for the Midwest Educause-2011 Kelly Wilkinson, Ph.D. – Director of CIRT, Indiana State University Tena B. Crews, Ed.D. – Professor of IIT, University of South Carolina
Assessment • Huba & Freed (2000) • “The process of gathering and discussing information from multiple and diverse sources in order to develop a deep understanding of what students know, understand, and can do with their knowledge as a result of their educational experiences; the process culminates when assessment results are used to improve subsequent learning” (p. 8)
assessment • "To assess" derives from the Latin verb "assidere“ • To sit by (originally, as an assistant-judge in the context of taxes) • Hence, in "assessment of learning" • We "sit with the learner“ • That implies • Assessment is something that we do with and for our students rather than to them
Initial research – e-feedbackFeedback a different way • Tied to a larger study about online learning • Looked for a creative way to give online students more faculty contact • Focused on grading and feedback • Used partner grading
Typical handwritten assessment So, you like circles, huh? Me too!!!!
Graded Paper w/ Track Changes Cool! Thanks for doing all the work for me!
What if we added . . . • http://www.hrsm.sc.edu/facstaff/tcrews/GradingTech.asp
Feedback was more immersive - Name Change:Immersive Feedback
What does “Immersive” mean? Generating a three-dimensional image which appears to surround the user. World English Dictionary What does “Feedback” mean? A reaction or response to a particular process or activity World English Dictionary
Personalize feedback process The goal is to remove the “distance” between the student and the faculty member – in essence making the feedback process more personal and more “real.”
Social Informatics As a factor limiting effective communication Technology As a means to increase and improve communication (Kling, Rosenbaum, Sawyer, 2005) Information and communications technology can be seen as both a benefit and detriment to social interaction and relationships.
Power of Immersive Feedback Traditional written feedback coupled with audio/video feedback • I2S, S2S, and S2I Reinforces
Lessons Learned • Power to personalize the assessment process in online instruction • Efficient method for faculty to bring richness to the assessment process • Particularly effective in providing formative feedback to students • Criterion based rubrics necessary for summative grading
More Lessons Learned • Hard copy reinforces learning through assessment • Both the “what” and the “why” are provided to students • The “why is missing in paper-based grading. • Use of “track changes” may be viable for some students, but faculty must serve in an “editor” type role • Possible to bring students into the grading process
Other Uses • Syllabus Overview • Electronic Journaling • Video Diary • Peer Assessment • Teaching Demo • Oral Report • Electronic “How To” Guide • Internship Reporting • THINK outside the BOX!
