This paper presents the design considerations of a tool aiming at providing formative feedback. The tool uses Latent Semantic Analysis, to automatically generate reference models and provide learners a means to compare their conceptual development against these models. The design of the tool considers a theoretical background which combines research on expertise development, knowledge creation,...

Mid-semester student feedback is a teaching assessment technique designed to elicit formative feedback from students during the semester, when it can be acted on to improve the course and students’ learning. Gathering student feedback at mid-semester is optimal for an instructor to get the pulse of the course––to find out what students are thinking about the instructor, the course material, and...

BACKGROUND Learning to provide feedback on a peer's performance in formative clinical assessments can be a valuable way of enriching the students' own learning experience. Students are often reluctant to provide honest, critical feedback to their peers. Nevertheless, it is an area of practice that is important to develop as students report feeling ill prepared in feedback techniques when enteri...
