Description

A new approach to digital assessment using summative audio feedback through Turnitin was trailed across a department offering psychology, natural applied sciences, and sports sciences. 163 students and 46 members of staff provided their feedback on the trial of the summative audio feedback (three minutes) for the assessments of the first semester through an anonymously online survey, while six members of staff shared their views through a focus group.

A repeat second anonymous survey on assessment feedback with a new cohort of students across the same department three years on (academic year 2023-2024) captured the views of 55 students, while 5 participated in a focus group.

The preliminary findings of this study of 219 students is that timely, personalised, detailed, formative and summative assessment feedback that enhances self-esteem is highly importatn and of value to students.
