discussions
Advantages - Staff
• Can read the comments – no poor handwriting• Can access the feedback at anytime from anywhere• Can download a pdf copy of the assignments with the feedback and
explanation of the quick comments
Advantages - Students
• Scripts appear in a random order and change each time you access the app – can cause issues when using anonymous marking• Need multiple assignments for multiple markers• Some set-up time for Quick marks and rubric (less time in future
years)• Still need to use the website for administrative issues – downloading
student work, creating and editing Quick marks etc
Disadvantages - Staff
• Need guidance on how to access the feedback• Some students believe the quick marks are not ‘individual feedback’• Students can only access the feedback whilst they have access to the
module MOLE site – can be an issues for returning students wanting to access feedback from the previous year • No group facility – only the student who submitted the assignment
can access the feedback
Disadvantages - Student
• More positive than negative issues/experiences
• Need time to set up
• Need to provide guidance to students
