Who needs a Feedback Bot

Who needs a Feedback Bot? Impacts of automation on feedback pedagogy and learning experience

pinclipart.com

This project aims to inform the design of (semi-)automated systems for feedback generation and propose a feedback model that equips learners and teachers with the ‘digital feedback literacy’ required to face an increasingly technology-mediated learning environment. This project intends to answer the following questions:

  1. What constitutes ‘good’ or ‘bad’ feedback?  
  2. Are there discrepancies between perceptions and realisation of ‘good’ feedback?  
  3. What are the impacts of automation on feedback pedagogy and learning experience?
