This document discusses whether cognitive heuristics help voters make better decisions and vote for the right candidate. It reviews literature on common political cognitive heuristics used by voters like party affiliation, ideology, endorsements and polls. One study found that while heuristics can help experts make efficient decisions, they can also introduce biases. More politically sophisticated voters may use heuristics better. Heuristics are also used more in complex situations. The document reflects on limitations of existing research and concludes that voters do apply cognitive heuristics in decision making, and sophistication can lead to better use of heuristics.

Should feedback be at the centre of Personalised Learning?Denise Whitelock
Should feedback be at the centre of Personalised Learning?
The advent of e-Learning has prompted the development of web-based learning systems, recognising there is no fixed learning pathway that will be appropriate for all learners. However, most learning platforms with personalised learning sequencing rely on a learner’s preferences.
However if we want students to be able to learn to make reliable judgements about their learning and to identify any further support they require to meet their learning goals, then personalised automatic feedback should play an important role. This presentation explores the role that technology enhanced feedback can play in the pursuit of a personalised learning agenda.
