Fishy feedback
I don’t think that I am ever going to win prizes for my artwork. However this post is about my picture of a fish, shown below: A month or so ago, I was invited to take part in a live … Continue reading

Analysing feedback comments
I’m participating in the ‘activity week’ of the JISC online conference ‘Innovating e-Learning: shaping the future’ and yesterday I caught just 30 minutes of an incredibly interesting session on ‘Analysing feedback’. I have just watched the recording of the rest … Continue reading
Getting feedback right
This is not new, but it is something we seem slow to understand, so I’m going to say it again. Just giving feedback is not the same as students acting on or learning from that feedback. And perhaps the point that … Continue reading
