The obvious difference in providing screen capture feedback over written feedback is the reduction in time involved in the practices around composing the written words. Upload the file may be an additional task. There is an increase in the quality and quantity of feedback as you can add in a few or words item you would not have written down, you can demonstrate what you meant by a phrase, re-write the sentence in front of the student. You can reduce the number of personal student visits from uncertain student.
Depending on the type of assessment material and skill of the assessor, recording times range from 5 to 12 minutes, upload times vary dependant on network loading but about 2 minutes. Pre-reading of the assessment is optional and as skill level develop and the assessment material becomes more familiar this can reduced to zero.
Our research found that feedback is quicker compared to written feedback particularly in following circumstances where;
- The Assessor is comfortable with the technology.
- The dyslexic Assessor writes or types slowly but records his/her speech quickly.
- A substantial amount of feedback is given.
