Have you used TurningPoint in one of your sessions?
1. Yes

Just One Thing…
• Trialled TurningPoint to collect student feedback
• Three modules – one from each Level
– MST1001; MST2012; MST3019/3095/3096/3099
Or via Blackboard
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
MST1001 Biodiversity of Marine Animals
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
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

Paper form TurningPoint
• Prefer not to see responses as bar chart – uncomfortable that answers were visible to everyone
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
• Overall positive response from students
• Staff believe trials were successful
