CHALLENGES

Tools are mechanisms for marking & giving feedback – they don’t solve the challenge of getting students to engage with their feedback…

Page 27: Preparing to Teach for PGRs: eAssessment, Nov 2016

KEY MESSAGES

Check arrangements in your School for online submission, marking & feedback – which tool & settings are you using?

Avail yourself of resources & support to enable you to use the tools effectively

Ask for help if you need it! 28
