Feedback

  • Consider four levels of feedback
    • How well a task is performed - focus on immediate goal
    • Processes underlying tasks - strategies, cues
    • Self-regulation - commitment, control (self-efficacy, help-seeking), confidence
    • Personal - little task-related information

Efficient and automated feedback

  • Online quizzes
    • Give process-level feedback
  • Tests and exams
    • Feedback4U project
  • Other personalised feedback
    • SRES

Crowdsourcing questions, answers, & feedback

  • PeerWise
  • Suggestions
    • Give students hints on writing MCQs
    • Seed database with a few questions
    • Use good questions in exams
    • Assign marks for contribution/quality

When you’re constructing a multiple-choice question you have to think about all the possibilities, misconceptions people may have… a nice way to revise

I liked it because I kept trying to make a question that people would get wrong… it felt good when my question was used
