Digital feedback: A multimodal approach to feedback for learning

Abstract

Digital tools provide educators with a platform to deliver feedback in a multi-modal manner, which can be particularly useful for qualitative student work. This paper explores how delivering student feedback with a multimodal digital approach through screen casting is a way to enhance formative assessment for learning. The purpose of this work is to briefly survey the literature on feedback for learning and technology as a tool to enhance feedback, to share practice in using screen casting tools for delivering student feedback, and to discuss strategies and implications for faculty developers in promoting these methods of delivering personalized feedback using technology to the faculty they are supporting.
