Example:

“This poster demonstrates experience in providing formative feedback to distance-based students, along with developing future strategies and technologies. The quality of learning experience is enhanced by providing formative feedback during courses, either by fellow students as part of planned collaborations or directly from the course presenters.

For distance students in postgraduate courses, personal interviews mid-course have been conducted using Skype with available time slots managed using the online tool Doodle. Whilst the responses of students to receiving such tailored feedback was very positive, class sizes of more than 50 and world time-zone differences overly stretched teaching resources. A more time effective approach in this course was to utilize “Quick Comments” and the ratings feature with Q&A Forum Tool in the Moodle LMS. The latter tool was used in group format whereby students first contributed their response to a question, and subsequently were given access to other group member’s comments to critically review and provide feedback.

Further improvement could be achieved by using tools integrated with Moodle LMS such as: Blackboard Collaborate webinars instead of Skype, and Scheduler instead of Doodle. In addition, some activities could be extended, eg: use “Quick Comments” throughout the semester by setting up Moodle Assignment as a Learning Journal, and require students to provide comments as well as ratings in the Q&A Forums. Through this approach, time saved with the judicious use of technology could be redirected into providing richer and more individualized feedback for students” (Mitra, Timms & Allen 2014, Using Technology to improve efficiencies in providing feedback.
