The Use of Video, Audio, and E-Portfolios to Provide Feedback

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Technologies in Biomedical and Life Sciences Education

Part of the book series: Methods in Physiology ((METHPHYS))

Abstract

Feedback is considered one of the most important factors for learning, especially for deep learning, which is important in higher education. However, providing and processing good qualitative feedback is quite complex and will not always result in the pursued learning effect. After a theoretical basis of deep learning and feedback, we look into the use of feedback to best promote deep learning without increasing instructor load. This is important not only for online education, where scalability is an option, but also for on-campus education. The use of video and audio feedback as well as the use of peer feedback is discussed as easy-to-implement didactic tools with impact. Furthermore, e-portfolios are discussed in the context of gathering feedback for student progress and development, whether or not to be used for assessment purposes.
