Objectives

The key objectives of the project were:

to examine the ways in which students and tutors actually use spoken and written e-feedback when these have become standard practice

to evaluate the preferences of tutors and students in relation to spoken and written feedback in those contexts

to investigate the ways in which students relate to the spoken and written e-feedback that they receive

to evaluate the extent to which the findings of the above evaluation apply to non-distance institutions in which e-feedback is an emerging practice

to identify the areas in which further support is needed in order to maximise the benefits of written and spoken e-feedback

to produce a set of training tools for tutors and students
