– Hickman and Mason (291)

This chapter uses York St John’s part-time post-graduate Initial Teacher Education (ITE) programme as a case study on the use of podcasting for assessment feedback to encourage conversations and engagement.

One of our ambitions was for students to actively engage in the feedback process, something they admit they do less with written feedback, generally seen as “not that useful”, “vague” and “generic for everyone.”
