WHO benefits?
COURSE performance

STUDENT feedback
Post-pilot student feedback revealed the project had been a huge success. It identified the need for feedback to be uploaded in a timely manner and be constructive and feed-forward - not retrospective. Students felt the 2-way dialogue needed to be a mandatory requirement otherwise very few would bother.
“The online space helpedme keep track of my feedback and
how I was improving over the units. I think being able to set your own goals
and highlighting the main points of improvement is a good idea
and would help more”
COURSE LEADER feedback
Course teams spend a lot of time giving feedback to students, but students do not always remember or understand their feedback, making tutorials difficult and ineffective.
Sessional staff also presented concerns as many arrived ‘out of the loop’ in terms of the feedback chain and methods, which can result in a disjointed student experience.
“It’s a great way
of seeing the student’s
learning over time, it’s going
to be of even more value now
we are moving into the second
year – we can start to pick up
on comments from the
previous year.”
CAMPUS REGISTY feedback
- Easy to upload
- Great improvement on the old printed method
- Beats using pigeonholes or posted during summer break
“A simple cost effectivesystem allowing students easy
access to their present/past feedback and saves a vast amount of
photocopying, paperand time.”
STAFF TRAINING and roll-out
- Work with course teams
- Tailoring learning spaces
- Create templates to spec
- Workshops - to campus registry
- Demos – to Faculty Management
