00:34:02 Janina Tosic: Congratulations Elizabeth! Sounds like a very exciting role to have a real Impact on teaching!
00:40:18 Anne Tierney: How important is time? in the sense of turnaround from getting the assignments to getting feedback back to students?
00:41:20 Sigal Tifferet: I would feel that regulations limit my Academic Freedom
00:48:26 Tzachi milgrom: I am sorry to say that after many tears of working in academic institutions, in my dictionary “academic freedom” is another word for conservativeness
00:49:52 Janina Tosic: @Tzachi, even after only 11 years: I hear you!!! Oftentimes used by colleagues who are not open to change or even consider to listen to ideas
00:50:23 Birgit Pitscheider, Innsbruck University: @Tzachi: Are the “tears of working” intended? Because for me, it sometimes feels like tears and not just years 🙂
00:52:01 Anne Tierney: @Tzachi I worry about conservativism and resistance to change also.
00:52:47 Tzachi milgrom: Freud could say something about this…
00:53:27 Alexandra Lehmann: “Endure the Clowns” is my Motto in this…
00:54:11 Anne Tierney: www.padlet.com
01:02:15 Anne Tierney: @Tzachi in the UK context, I believe quality processes produce conservatism. Not deliberately, but an unintended consequence.
01:02:55 Anne Tierney: @Kara it
01:03:20 Anne Tierney: @Kara it’s a valuable skill to be able to draw the discussion out of the student
01:06:24 Anne Tierney: @Elizabeth – markers also sometimes focus on functional aspects of an assignment
01:08:32 Janina Tosic: Would it be possible to change the three specific points to three questions they can ask the marker to answer? As you just pointed out, asking a question might lead to a more specific feedback request
01:14:34 Ashley Le Vin: one thing i thought of implementing was an anonymous feedback box for students to tell us what aspects of our feedback they don’t understand to aid us in giving better feedback – although with current social distancing etc i am not sure if i will be able to do this on campus this year…
01:15:42 Anne Tierney: @ashley that sounds like a great idea, and something to think about adapting in the current situation
01:16:02 Janina Tosic: That’s a great idea to have a physical feedback box! Thank you Ashley!
01:16:08 Alexandra Lehmann: I found out that getting students to ask Questions helps a lot. But they actually have to learn to be allowed to ask Questions (and not having to give answers to everything). seems they lost this ability during School time
01:16:14 Ashley Le Vin: yeah i just need to find some anonymous online place they can dump feedback Anne
01:17:02 Anne Tierney: @ashley try www.padlet.com
01:17:26 Alexandra Lehmann: @ ashley: on our internal educational Plattform moodle you can put in an anonymous questionnaire for feedback
01:17:40 Anne Tierney: @alexandra yes students don’t like to ask questions to draw attention to themselves
01:18:00 Ashley Le Vin: cheers Anne – i actually just opened it in a tab to take a look at it. and thanks Alexandra – we use Moodle too but i didn’t think that i could just do it a as questionnaire – thanks
01:18:33 Sigal Tifferet: A wordcloud is another option
01:18:34 Alexandra Lehmann: @ anne: it’s not only About asking me Questions, but also to ask Questions for themselves; About what they want to achieve for themselves
01:19:10 Anne Tierney: @alexandra ah, yes. That is something that needs to be supported and developed. and difficult
01:23:26 Birgit Pitscheider, Innsbruck University: @Elizabeth: Maybe an idea is: To start the next feedback talk with: What have you integrated from the previous feedback talk? What changed in your work because of the previous feedback?
01:23:47 Anne Tierney: @Birgit great suggestion
01:29:34 Anne Tierney: My non-academic friends are shocked at how argumentative I am – but it’s normal!
01:29:54 Birgit Pitscheider, Innsbruck University: @Alexandra: This is why I think we need to teach and learn how to give and receive feedback
01:30:24 Janina Tosic: Feedback literacy is just super important to foster!
01:31:34 Janina Tosic: I give my students extra points if they find mistakes I make and correct me. They enjoy this alot 🙂
