There has been increasing interest in incorporating Web 2.0 tools into giving feedback in language classes. Several online feedback tools have emerged recently to facilitate giving feedback and to evaluate students’ performances. One of these tools is ‘VEO’ (Video Enhanced Observation) a web 2 tool for continuous professional development which makes it possible for teachers and students to give feedback on their performance, tagging their videos by custom-made items. The present study reports reflections of the students on receiving feedback via the VEO program, compared to regular, standard feedback in an Academic Oral Skills course. The specific focus of the feedback aimed at enhancing the development, in especially preparing audiovisual aids, and improving language skills; hence mediating and assisting learning at large. The dataset consists of 3 hours of presentations recorded using VEO. 20 students were given feedback using the app, that is their presentations were videotaped and later tagged. The control group (also 20 students) received feedback in traditional methods; referring to a rubric and via conferencing. Later all participants from each group (chosen according to convenience sampling method) were asked to fill out an online survey on how effective they found the use of the feedback practices, whether it be the VEO app or the conventional notes on the rubric and conferencing methods. The results of the study indicate that although, the video enhanced observation technology seems to lend itself to pinpointing the exact seconds the feedback refers to, and presents evidence to oral performance, traditional feedback, too, seems to provide the students numerous benefits

Collaborative peer feedback and learning analytics: theory-oriented design for supporting class-wide interventions Dimitriadis, Yannis; Er, Erkan; Gasevic, Dragan (2021-02-01) Although dialogue can augment the impact of feedback on student learning, dialogic feedback is unaffordable by instructors teaching large classes. In this regard, peer feedback can offer a scalable and effective solution. However, the existing practices optimistically rely on students' discussion about feedback and lack a systematic design approach. In this paper, we propose a theoretical framework of collaborative peer feedback which structures feedback dialogue into three distinct phases and outlines the ...
Educational analytics on the online open courseware of an academic speaking skills course Balbay, Seher (null; 2018-05-13) Analytics as one of the recent fields in technology-based learning offers many benefits to educators, instructors, and administrators to improve the efficiency and quality of alternative educational materials through tracking and storing students’ log data on web platforms over an extended period of time. This descriptive, quantitative study investigates students’ log data retrieved from the open courseware specifically launched for a required academic English speaking skills course offered at Middle East T...
Multi-dimensional evaluation of e-learning systems in the higher education context: empirical investigations Köseler, Refika; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Department of Information Systems (2009) There has been little research on assessment of learning management systems (LMS) within educational organizations as both a web-based learning system for e-learning and as a supportive tool for blended learning environments. This study proposes a conceptual e-learning assessment model, HELAM (Hexagonal e-Learning Assessment Model) suggesting a multi-dimensional approach for LMS evaluation via six dimensions: (1) system quality, (2) service quality, (3) information (content) quality, (4) learner perspective...

Investigating Pre-Service English Teachers Stages of Concern toward Using Wiki Kayaduman, Halil ; Delialioğlu, Ömer (2016-01-01) Concern Based Adaption Model (CBAM) was used as the theoretical framework for examining the Stages of Concerns of English Language pre-service teachers regarding the use of a Wiki for English as Foreign Language (EFL) classes. Stages of concern are used as a measure for adaptation of new technologies to instruction. Learning by Design (LBD) instructional method was implemented for three weeks in the context of an undergraduate course, “Approaches to English Language Teaching”, in the department of Foreign ...
