Abstract
This session starts from the premise that the effectiveness of the feedback
students receive is today the most common limitation on their learning
achievements, beginning with some frightening research findings on the
ineffectiveness of current practices.
It then introduces some practical principles of good practice based on
current theoretical thinking, then briefly describes two contrasting learning
designs (both partly supported by e-technology) that score exceptionally
highly against these theoretical ideas. The audience is then invited to
discuss whether and how the theories and specific designs could make any sense
in their own particular teaching context: thus both stressing the theories for
the speaker's benefit, and developing practical ideas for local applications
for their own benefit.
Bio blurb
Steve Draper, currently a lecturer at Glasgow University, has in recent years
worked on the use of technology in HE, especially on evaluating the benefits
(if any) of its applications, and on theories of education. This
presentatation comes from his
involvement in the
"Re-engineering Assessment Practices"
(funded by SFC), and his collaboration with the project director,
David Nicol. Steve has also worked extensively on the use of
Electronic Voting Systems in HE.
