This was accompanied by a commentary in a short video which allowed my student to listen to the feedback I gave at the time of marking their work. Using screencasting tools to give feedbackīelow you can see a short sample of student work that I created as a screencast on TechSmith Jing. I admit that it took some practice, but the software itself is easy to use and you just need to make sure that any commentary you make in the video is concise and doesn’t exceed the 5-minute time limit. I therefore decided to experiment with TechSmith Jing because it allows the teacher to make short videos, and/or screencast a document from their computer at the same time. I’ve experimented with making voice recordings to give feedback but it can still be difficult for learners to understand exactly the point I’m making. Sometimes it’s difficult to think back to the moment when I marked the writing and to exactly what I was referring to.
I often find myself in the situation where I mark and grade pieces of student writing with comments and corrections, only to find when I hand the work back that learners often have questions about the errors and feedback I’ve given. This is why I decided to use a tool like TechSmith Jing to help me give real-time, recorded feedback collated at the time of marking the assignment.
