Motivating Students “We are becoming a visually
motivated society. For many, understanding of the world is being accomplished, not through words, but by reading images”
(Lester,2006:415).
Research Findings for FeedbackUK National Student Survey (since 2005) “consistently negative reaction from students towards tutor
feedback”THE (Times Higher Education), July 31st 2008 “Lecturers’ feedback efforts ‘misguided’”HEA (Higher Education Academy) “receives more requests for help to improve the system of
feedback in universities than on any other issue”
WHAT does the software do?
- Allows you to record everything you do on the screen, along with a voice-over and/or image of instructor.
- It records the desktop on which you have placed the essay in either Word or PDF.
- Converts the recorded file into various formats depending on the output capacity i.e. email, flashdisk, Facebook, website, cd/dvd
