In the course we will look at:
- Assignment with personal feedback in Absalon – e.g. recording the feedback in a sound- or video
- Feedback in lecturing – use Sendsteps to create interactive sessions with your students. They can respond from mobile phones or laptop. This can be used for large classes also.
- Quizzes in combination with small activities in class – use quizzes in Absalon for students to reflect on and work actively with their learning.
- Peer feedback – use FeedbackFruites to create peer feedback activities. This can be used for large classes also.
