Can we enable students to reach their potential through engaging with feedback – a feedback pathway? (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Malone, E., & MacNab, A. (2015, January). Can we enable students to reach their potential through engaging with feedback – a feedback pathway?. Presented at The Teaching Fellows Conference, Edinburgh Napier University, Edinburgh

In response to our experience and supporting evidence [1] that students may not engage with, understand or use their feedback, we have created and introduced a ’feedback pathway’ into a level 9 module. This pathway promotes engagement with and the a... Read More about Can we enable students to reach their potential through engaging with feedback – a feedback pathway?.
