Abstract:

Research supports the positive effects of using video to give feedback on presentations (Shrosbree, 2008; De Grez, Valcke, & Roozen, 2009; Kirkgoz, 2011; Silva, 2012; McNulty & Lazarevic, 2012). Based on such research, the presenters introduced the screen capture presentation feedback method in Eckhaus & Castellano, 2014. While the value for students was demonstrated, the potential increase in workload that this process could cause instructors has remained largely unexplored. For the method to be effective, educators must take into account the sustainability of the feedback method (Carlessa, D., Saltera, D., Yanga, M., & Lama, J., 2011). Therefore, this presentation offers a protocol for providing screen capture presentation feedback and outlines many considerations that will allow instructors to keep the process from becoming overly burdensome. Areas that will be covered include: establishing and selecting feedback categories to find which are most helpful to students; creating feedback forms to standardize and target areas for improvement; making the screen capture feedback videos and sharing the feedback with students; uploading and distributing feedback videos; considering students’ feelings and attitudes toward video feedback; and finding an appropriate balance so that feedback remains constructive without demotivating students. Presenters will emphasize using screen capture video feedback as a learning tool to be used in conjunction with other feedback methods.
