Context

… is important… can be limiting

“What different types of technology are available for gathering feedback?”

• online polls/surveys• forums/text walls (e.g. Padlet)• audience response systems (‘clickers’)• e-Portfolios• analytics• blogs/online journals• email

*Other platforms are available

• Don’t overload• Number of surveys to a minimum• Only the questions you really

need to ask

• Adaptive questions to limit number

• Reminders to complete can be useful

“Would it be possible to get a better insight into e-portfolios?”

• best defined by purpose• assessment vs reflection• (potential) benefits to learners/organisations

– digital skills– process + product– efficiencies

• Employability (up to a point)

Simon Cotterill, 2004

“Can technology improve the induction experience for learners?”

• consider– pre-induction– long-tail– mobile

• webinar/recording• social networks• VLE• app/mobile

“Look at what is the best way for us to share best practice within our teams”

• “showcase the good stuff that's out there ... post good news stories on our website and get a little healthy competition going!”

• text/video case studies• webinar• social network (maybe)• competition (okay, this bit isn’t tech)

“How can technology be adopted to get better long-term qualitative feedback from employers/learners?”

• Umm …

Not quite sure if I can shoehorn technology into this one:• closing the feedback loop• ipsative assessment/feedback

Open evaluation

We’re going to be using a simple online tool, ‘PollEverywhere’ to collect feedback.
