[PAST EVENT] Multimedia Feedback: Clear, Powerful and Personalized
Access & Features
- Registration/RSVP
Join us for a guest lecture by Dr. Michael Phillips from Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. The remote presentation, "Multimedia Feedback: Clear, Powerful and Personalized," will be conducted via videoconferencing.
Feedback is critical to promoting student learning. Without feedback, students are limited in how they can gauge their progress and make changes to future performance. Feedback is key to students' effective decision-making, and can serve as the basis of improved learning outcomes. However, feedback is often under-used and is often misunderstood by both students and educators.
This presentation will highlight the results of research on multimedia feedback practices that have enhanced instructors' feedback in secondary schools and higher education settings in Australia during the past seven years. Attendees will receive practical advice about providing effective multimedia feedback and access to a variety of web-based resources that can help them to incorporate these practices in a variety of educational contexts.
