Feedback in Learning: Screencasts as Tools to Support Instructor Feedback to Students and the Issue of Learning from Feedback Given to Other Learners
Joachim Griesbaum
Abstract
Feedback can be seen as a key component to support learning. In particular, elaborate feedback that makes specific information about learning outcomes available and provides hints for improvements can be seen as worthwhile but is also costly. In this context, this paper discusses feedback in learning and screencasts as technological tools to support the provision of instructor-given feedback. The results of two case studies are presented. In the case studies, screencasts were employed as a tool to provide feedback on the results of students’ group work. These feedback screencasts were available for the group members and also all course participants. On this basis, the question of whether students learn from feedback given to other learners is discussed.
