We greatly appreciate the time taken to provide us with feedback on each module. We regularly review all the feedback provided and use it to inform the development of new modules. Subject to funds being available and other constraints, we will amend existing modules where feedback shows this is required.Feedback from other members about this module
This aids the learning process, once your questions/quiz is established get the learners to attempt, get the students on board to create their own questions and feedback, expanding knowledge and understanding in a fun and engaging way. Giving them responsibilities to expand their knowledge, and confidence.
Good as a reminder
There are a number of resources on this unit that I want to go back and read up on.
Useful information to consider reasons for digital feedback and ways to do it
This is quite simplistic it would need to be developed considerably and imaginatively for higher level learners to avoid switching them off.
