A New Direction in Feedback of Student's Written Work

This paper will look further into an innovative form of providing feedback that is beginning to create a lot of interest in several countries around the world, including the USA, Japan and Spain. The idea has already had national press coverage in the UK. In this research, the author will explain how screen recording software can be used to provide "video" feedback for students. The paper will outline two possible ways that video feedback can be used to provide individual feedback to students either on their written work or on the general performance of the whole class. Students have been very enthusiastic in their response to this form of providing feedback. The paper concludes by outlining possible directions for further study.
