Using screen capture software to create feedback videos for students is creating substantial interest in the educational community.
In this presentation, Michelle will outline the basics of creating feedback videos and explore some of the possibilities of this idea. In addition, Michelle will discuss her research which looks at the impact of video feedback on the wording and content of comments, and how video commentary enhances students' understanding and uptake of feedback.

Communicating in the digital classroom: Comparing experiences online and face...Bindi Clements
Language classes held online in a ‘digital’ classroom provide opportunities for bringing together teachers and students from different locations and cultures, and online classes allow for language practice outside the traditional face-to-face classroom setting. However, significant pedagogical challenges arise when using videoconferencing for language teaching, particularly in terms of enabling spontaneous communication between learners. It can be difficult to ensure that all students are engaged and have opportunities for speaking practice, and for teachers to assess the progress of individual learners.
This research investigates some of these challenges in the context of classes provided to adult language learners. Wall Street English students follow a blended programme, combining self-paced online study with teacher-led classes. Some students can choose to attend these teacher-led classes either face-to-face or online, and as both modes use almost identical class content, this allows for the direct comparison of digital and face-to-face classrooms. Using questionnaire and interview data, this research compares student and teacher experience in both modes. In addition, as students are assessed during the classes, the numeric data provided by teacher assessment of students’ language, communication and interaction skills will be analysed and compared. In particular, the hypothesis that students have fewer opportunities to demonstrate their language skills, and the impact this has on assessment, will be investigated.
The results will be relevant for online teachers, teacher trainers and course designers, and will highlight the importance of awareness of the affordances for learner interactivity offered by the digital classroom. The conclusion is that teachers will need to develop specific skills in order for learners to engage with and fully participate in online classes, and class materials should be developed with a range of opportunities for online interaction in mind.

Strategies to Improve your Digital Well-being Using ePortfolios Marie B FisherePortfolios Australia
Digital well being is an important aspect of our work and study that often takes ‘a back seat’ in our overloaded lives.
The aim of this paper is to reflect on what Digital Well being means to us and how ePortfolios can be used to achieve our life and work goals.
How do we define digital well being? Why is it important?
How can we refresh and use our ePortfolios to improve our job prospects, engagement or collaboration with others and work life balance?
What can we change in our approach when challenges overwhelm or stymie our Digital well being?
During CIDREE 2015 meeting, we presented the main results of some of our different works, highlighting specifically some important concepts and explaining how we believe they articulate with the Professional Vision.

Adding Audio Feedback Using Vocaroo in Online Courses: Does it Add Value?Ashford University
Drs. Andree Swanson, Maja Zelihic, Paula Zobisch, Renee Hill, Diane Hamilton, Brenda Forde, and Bill Davis conducted a qualitative study to identify the student perceptions of connection and engagement (e-connectivity) when listening to audio feedback provided through the free software, Vocaroo (a web-based service for sending voice messages). The working hypothesis was that providing audio feedback via Vocaroo would result in increased e-connectivity (social connection-engagement). The team of researchers used this in a variety of management, marketing, and accounting courses at the undergraduate and graduate level. The results were positive and further strengthened the desire for students’ e-connectivity and engagement.

Online writing feedback: A national study exploring the service and learning ...Studiosity.com
Professor Chris Tisdell, Scientia Education Academy Fellow at the University of New South Wales (...and YouTube star, mathematician, former DJ...) kicked off the day by talking student word choice, feedback, and psychology, and wellbeing.
Chris presented findings from a national study which used the feedback from students from more than 20 universities. Why? After every Studiosity session, students give feedback. That feedback from students needs to be analysed and used in practical ways (especially recalling Associate Professor Phill Dawson on Day One, who discussed the importance of feedback literacy and translating it into action.) Online, 24/7 support is needed as much to fulfil student expectations for their overall university service experience, as it is needed for delivering learning outcomes.
This year's Studiosity 'Students First' Symposium was hosted at La Trobe University City Campus, 25 and 26 July 2019.
Development of a multidisciplinary assignment - a first year engineering pilo...LearningandTeaching
Multidisciplinary teaching is a contemporary education strategy implemented by various tertiary institutions to stimulate students’ critical thinking, develop inter-disciplinary understanding, and enhance students’ problem solving skills. In this presentation, Dr Saad Odeh and Dr Muhammad Qureshi summarise the steps taken, as well as findings from a pilot study that investigated the development and implementation of a combined assignment from two first year units in the Engineering curriculum: “Foundation Mathematics” and “Introduction to Programming”.
The suggested assignment aimed to help students understand the link between these two disciplines. Case studies from the mechanical and civil engineering industry were selected to develop the pilot assignments. The mathematical rules applied in this assignment were introduced in brief in the assignment information sheet to give students guidelines to carry out further online research. The preliminary statistical results show improvement in students’ multi-disciplinary knowledge in the different units and enhancement in their industrial experience.
Wondering where you belong on the spectrum between a technophobe and technophile? Curious as to how this affects your teaching? More tech-savvy generations of learners are entering our classrooms bringing not only their rich cultural contexts, but also new preferences of learning and engaging both with each other, and their educators. However, incorporating ed-tech strategies effectively into teaching can seem daunting to many educators.
Our experience shows that the development of digital capabilities in educators is highly dependent upon empowering, developing and enhancing the educators’ mindset. This presentation presents theoretical considerations for developing an educator’s digital capabilities and reviews examples of ed-tech professional development models to support and empower educators to successfully implement technology-enhanced teaching practices.
Do you ever feel out of your depth or overwhelmed with trying to manage students who come to you emotionally distressed? Does this affect your own stress levels?
Whether you are a teacher or support staff, it is essential for your own health and well-being and the well-being of your students that you feel resourced with strategies to manage these situations effectively.
In this presentation, Jane Daisley-Snow will help you recognize the signs of mental health issues; respond appropriately with ‘mental health first aid’; and refer students on to receive the professional support they need.
ANZAC perspectives: Strategies, leading indicators and busting international ...LearningandTeaching
This webinar is a unique collaboration between agencies that promote New Zealand and Australian international education – Education New Zealand and Austrade. Kadi Taylor also throws into the mix the perspective of an education provider that straddles both sides of the Tasman, Navitas.
The presenters bring together disparate data sets from both destinations to illuminate the lead indicator data trends, compare these trends and provide qualitative context to how these played out in these major international education destinations.
Raise your voice: Creating community for international studentsLearningandTeaching
Singing together is powerful. It helps us express our emotions, teaches us to harmonise our differences, and makes us feel part of a community. It also provides an opportunity for language learners to improve pronunciation, fluency, vocabulary and confidence in speaking. For international students living in Australia, a choir can become a family, and a home away from home. It’s a safe place to make friends, improve English, and explore a range of feelings.
In 2018, the first annual Raise Your Voice choir festival for international students was held in Brisbane. In these slides, Vicki Bos and Donna Cook share some of the goals, benefits and outcomes of the 2018 festival, and let you know all about the upcoming 2019 festival. Tune in to the recording if you’re interested in singing with your students, setting up a choir at your language school, or getting involved in the 2019 festival (and beyond).
Providing effective feedback for students can be a time-consuming and often frustrating experience for both student and teacher. In an attempt to identify a method for providing feedback that is both engaging for students and time-efficient for staff, a study comparing audio with written feedback was carried out at Curtin College.
Analysis of students' results indicates that while different types of feedback did not result in any significant difference in grades, the evidence from the study's survey indicates an overwhelmingly positive response by most staff and students to audio feedback.
In these slides, Gemma Clarke shares the results of her study and highlights some of the advantages and disadvantages of using audio feedback with a particular focus on Audacity.
Confidence is key: a successful approach to teaching statisticsLearningandTeaching
Teaching statistics has increasingly been regarded as a complex mission to accomplish as it consists of many different mathematical components with many variables. Despite extensive research work in developing education in statistics, this discipline still requires significant improvement in how it is taught. Most students at university have a lack of interest in undertaking statistics courses due different factors - some of them are related to teaching techniques and others are related to method of assessment.
In these slides, Saad Odeh presents an effective teaching technique in statistics developed by SIBT teachers. Rather than enabling the cohort by providing them with extra help to progress in statistics, the idea was to improve their confidence when they do the major assessment, 'the final exam'.
Co-designing a global pd program for 120 Navitas collegesLearningandTeaching
Transforming the student learning experience relies on the capabilities of our exceptional teachers. Learning and Teaching Services has launched Teaching Excellence at Navitas (TEN) - a strategic and innovative approach to the delivery and management of professional development at Navitas.
In these slides, Pauline Farrell and Christina Del Medico outline the co-design process of TEN.
Assessment can have a profound influence on student learning. Some students only seek to engage with that which is to be assessed. In other cases, assessment approaches can inhibit learning by assessing inappropriate things. Authentic assessments provide the means for teachers to influence learning in all the right ways and provide learning experiences that connect students with practical applications of the course materials. These type of assessments also involve active learning where students are motivated to make decisions and judgments and to learn by doing.
In these slides, Ron Oliver discusses how teachers can design and use authentic assessments in their classroom settings. He demonstrates various forms of authentic assessment that can be applied to develop and assess differing levels of learning outcomes.

In these slides, Kadi Taylor and Darragh Murray take you through a snapshot of what the latest international education lead indicators are currently showing for the Australian international education sector, including analysis of offshore student visa grants and international student commencements.They examine sector and market trends, highlight emerging differences and give views around what these trends may mean for the medium-term outlook for international education in Australia. Throughout the webinar they provide data-driven answers to questions such as:How are offshore international student visa grants performing in the first half of FY19?How are our major source markets are performing and where might there be growth?What are the implications for any shifting trends in Australian international education?There will be an opportunity to ask questions and engage with the data.
In these slides, Anselm will unravel the mysteries of active learning. Bloom’s Taxonomy and ‘flipped learning’ are presented as theoretical lenses through which active learning may be better understood. Specifically, he argues that active learning consists of two components: ‘active’ and ‘learning’. In designing for engaging and meaningful student learning experiences, there should be an equal emphasis placed on both elements.
In this presentation, Bronwyn Mortimer and Gemma Clarke share how they achieved a complete redefinition of traditional group oral presentations using the S.A.M.R model.
A shift in mindset: How to embrace students' growing use of mobile devicesLearningandTeaching
Students’ mobile devices have become a prevalent sight in the classroom which will not soon abate. The presence of mobile devices has long been the cause of much frustration for teachers due to the necessity of repeating instructions and an overall drop in classroom participation.
In these slides, Paul Gregory shares his reflections on how a shift in mindset helped improve his attitude towards students and their non-academic use of mobile devices in the classroom.
By putting his theory to the test over an entire semester, Paul found that shifting the blame from the students empowered the instructor to incorporate change and made for a more productive and cohesive classroom experience.
In their shoes: Understanding the international student perspective LearningandTeaching
As educators, we often forget what it is like to be a student. In particular, an international student. In addition to this, it is challenging to empathise with international students unless we ourselves have studied in a second language. We do our best as educators to ensure teaching is inclusive of international students, but often forget to do this due to constraints such as prioritising with delivering content.
In these slides, Jason Cormick-Dockery and Abraham Punnen discuss barriers to learning faced by international students and make recommendations for institutions and educators, including having subjects that promote intercultural differences.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Engaging with feedback
Studies have shown that feedback is often:
incomprehensible to students due to the language
used
ambiguous
not personalised enough to be useful
not detailed enough
lacking information on how to improve
(Hyland, 2003; Stannard, 2007; Dube, 2009; Granville & Dison, 2009; Wingate, 2010; Bennett & Nair, 2011; Crook et al. 2012)

Video feedback
Studies found that:
Students prefer video feedback
Students engage more fully with the video feedback
It appeals to a number of senses and learning styles
It is regarded as conversational and social , even though it
is one sided and asynchronous
It elicits richer, more precise and nuanced feedback
It allows for more commentary than could reasonably be
written on a student paper, whether by hand or
electronically
(Stannard, 2006; Kerr & McLaughlin, 2008; Brick and Holmes, 2008; Mathisen, 2012; Harper et al., 2012; Vincelette, 2013)

Video feedback
Students’ perceptions:
Felt they were getting more input from their teacher
Felt it was more ‘human’ social, personal and tailor-made
Felt that the explanations were clearer and more detailed
Felt feedback was more constructive and most indicated a
stronger sense of knowing what they need to do in the
future
Felt they captured their teacher’s attention and the teacher
was ‘available’ which was motivating
(Stannard, 2006; Kerr & McLaughlin, 2008; Brick and Holmes, 2008; Mathisen, 2012; Harper et al., 2012; Vincelette, 2013)

Video feedback
Teachers’ perceptions:
Felt like comments had more depth and were more
personal
Found it valuable for explaining complex ideas and for
suggesting strategies
Found it saved time in the long run , as there was a
significant decrease in follow up meetings and emails
Felt they had some control over how the student prioritises
aspects of the feedback

An example of video feedback on a syntax error leading
to ‘positive change’:
Draft 1:
“In last part of the sentence here [highlights segment
indicated above] there seems to be a lot of repetition because
you’ve got the word ‘health’ as you can see [highlights each
instance of the word ‘health’] three times so it’s a little bit
repetitive. So perhaps can you try and re-word that a bit?”

The discrepancy in the percentage of ‘positive change’
outcomes could support the claim that a multi-modal
approach to learning is a more effective method of
instruction than a mono-modal approach (cf. Clark &
Mayer, 2008).

An example of video feedback giving
‘advice/suggestion’ leading to ‘positive change’:
Draft 1:
“This is actually all one sentence [highlights sentence] and as
you can see it’s very long. Try reading it through again and
work out where you need to put a full stop. I mean roughly
your sentences should be about two lines..…Try and keep
them short and straightforward and to the point.”

This suggests that the combined visual-oral approach
to providing advice may better help students to
‘notice’ the gap between their current ability and
required performance and hence increases their
learning (cf. Schmidt, 1990).

Comment type and student revision
It seems that students are more aware of how to
improve their work with video feedback, leading to
more ‘positive change’ outcomes, and this could be
due to the fact that there are more ‘explanation’
comments.
Students may be more inclined to take up teacher
feedback if it is explained why they need to make the
change as well as how to make the change, and
hence the amount of ‘incorrect change’ and ‘no
change’ responses would decrease.

Student surveys
“They can actually say what they think and give me
advice rather than just writing what the mistakes are.”
“Very helpful cause [sic] you have both the written and
the audio recording which makes it easy to follow and
gives more explanation as to why.”
“The video was more helpful than only the written
feedback as you were told in a simpler way of why
and how the mistake occurred.”

Student surveys
“It's more interactive and you get more of a descriptive
evaluation of your work. It helps to plant it into your
brain, so the next time the same mistake occurs you
can change it yourself and feel as though you are
progressing.”
“….made it easier than using just the comments, it
was like being in a meeting.”

Conclusions
Video feedback lends itself to discourse level
feedback, i.e. comments relating to meaning, text
organisation, and the logical development of ideas.
A higher percentage of video comments provided
explanation and suggestions and these types of
meaningful comments appeared to lead to
substantive student revisions.
39. +
Conclusions
Students showed a more active engagement with
the feedback videos, leading to a higher percentage
of ‘positive change’ outcomes on their revised texts.
Students rated themselves as more motivated,
encouraged and clear-headed after receiving video
feedback compared to after receiving written
feedback
All students stated that they preferred video
feedback

Implications and application
These findings may:
encourage teachers to reflect on their feedback
practices and change the way they give feedback to
support a broader range of learners
be used to develop guidelines for teachers for using
screen-capture feedback
promote the use of video feedback in other learning
contexts, as feedback is integral to all students’
learning

Practicalities
I prefer to use Jing – It’s FREE, very user friendly and
comes with a Screencast account for storing videos online
1. Pre-read the paper and create a minimal cueing
system. This will help you prioritise feedback
2. Select the area of the screen to record and click
“Capture video” and record your video.
3. Press stop button when finished, then click “Share to
screencast.com”
4. Link will be created and stored on your clipboard. Paste
it into an email and send to the student.

Other ways to provide video
feedback
Take notes while working through a student’s work.
Create a video that talks through the notes and the
problems/observations on a point by point basis
Create a video that provides general feedback to the
whole class
Provide a model answer to a question and comment
on it. Students could use it to reflect on their own
work.
