Leveraging Panopto (or Another Screencast Software) Integrated with Brightspace to Provide Student Feedback
New Paltz, State University College at
Problem: Online, Hybrid and In-Person Students Not Attending to Written Feedback on Papers
Solution: Using Panopto (or another brand of screen casting software) to share comments on student work
I have found that it takes approximately 15 minutes to provide feedback on student drafts and other assignments, whether I write out my comments or use Panopto to capture my screen. Instead of typing out my comments, I can bring up a student's draft, comment upon it verbally, and embed my comments directly into the student's gradebook on Brightspace.
The student feedback on this approach has been overwhelming positive. I gave a presentation about my approach to this kind of feedback during National Distance Learning Week and have provided both an .mp4 file and PDF file to my presentation below.
Excellent! I’ll be sharing this with colleagues.
My students really appreciate this too. Loom offers free accounts for educators if Panopto is $$$.
This method has proven to reach students and render the feedback relevant and formative. Bravo!
Using video for review or guided explanation is an excellent strategy.
This also works with Kaltura. It’s nice that the video feedback can be integrated into the grade book.
