Online learning: A whole new world of studying - Lucy Tobin, THE GUARDIAN
There’s not a red pen in sight when Russell Stannard marks his master’s students’ essays — but it’s not because the students never make mistakes. Stannard doesn’t use a pen, or even paper, to give his students feedback— he turns on his computer, records himself marking the work onscreen, then e-mails his students the video. When students open the video, they can hear Stannard’s voice commentary as well as watch him going through the process of marking. The resulting feedback is more comprehensive than the more conventional notes scrawled in the margin, and Stannard, who works at the University of Westminster in London, now believes it has the potential to revolutionize distance learning.
