2. The problem…
• For the academic: Feedback is often repetitive
• For the student: Feedback is often misinterpreted
• Encouraged to use judicious multimedia to engage students
with course material
3. What does Predictive Feedback mean to me?
1
Can I predict areas of repetitive feedback ?
What mode(s) of feedback will best engage my student?
2
3
• In person, written, oral?
• How can the widest modes of feedback be incorporated into one
brief message?
• How can I automate that message?
Can my student predict where they will face challenges?
•
•
How can predictive feedback aid study?
How will it alter study habits?
4. What does it look like ?
Small movie “snippets” may be
overlaid to provide context to
the problem.
Using a whiteboard gives the “feel” of
one-on-one consultations
(facial expressions, tone of voice,
setup of problems, body language…)
6. Why do it?
• For the student
– It provides another option for obtaining feedback on work
– Students can access this at any time
– Provides links to videos from around the world
• For the student and academic
– There is now one clear message on key topics of interest
– Links to the movies can be embedded throughout Moodle
– It enriches the conversation between student and academic
• For the academic
– It saves time this semester
– You build a collection of short presentations that can be added to or
altered year-on-year.
7. Does it work?
YouTube analytics supports the success of this approach – and provides you
feedback on how the class is progressing.
“Over 4200 Clayton based student views
of multimedia course content to date”
“1319 views on “predictive feedback videos” to date”
“80% attendance at “live” lecture sessions”

8. What are the broad steps?
1
Choose what mode of feedback best engages your students (for me, it is a
white-board), & set up some rules for yourself on what feedback best suits
your needs.
2
Categorize the ‘typical’ problems student’s face. Work out how many
videos you intend to put together.
3
You can record using your iPhone, and upload the videos directly to
YouTube (Monash has a YouTube channel, you can join through your
email page).
4
Create links in your Moodle page – located near to where question and
solution sets already exist
