Feedback with screen capture

In 2006 experimented with the idea of usingscreen capture to provide feedback tostudents.

Very positive reaction in the media andacademic world.

Idea is still growing and research is now takingplace all over the world.

Presented the work in about 20 countries. We have copy of first ever article I wrote in

June 2006 in the Modern English Teacher.

Reflection

We often get our students to reflect on theirlessons/dissertations/ learning.

Obvious techniques are

Using diariesQuestions

Tick box and check lists

Continually disappointed with the results

Students dont engage.

Using screen capture for

reflection on teaching practice

Two experiments. One in Sweden and one in

Poland.

Had gone over to do some training but had notime to observe lessons.

Teachers did their classes, answered my

questions using JING and then sent me thevideo

Reflections on my lessons

Nicolas Carr-The Shallows

What really goes on when I set up

collaborative exercises in the class or

remotely?

How much reading, watch videos goes on or

do students just cut and paste without really

processing the information?

How do groups organised themselves?

What did we learn from the

reflections?

Learnt

Students often recommend content/videos from the web withoutfully understanding /watching them.

Action..

Need to build in checks and balances to make sure that they haveread, watched and understood whatever content they are sharing.

Learnt

The way groups work varies enormously and results in some groupsbenefitting far more from certain activities than others.

Action Provide more detail at the start of a group activity about how the

groups should organise. For example that each member should beassigned a role.

Conclusions

Real examples of how ICT can perhapsenhance teaching and learning.

Feedback can be enhanced by the screen

capture approach.

Students/teacher trainers may feel happier

reflecting orally.

The value of the reflections can perhaps bemeasured in the outcomes/actions we take as

result of them.
