Interesting – a comparison with Yammer might be useful. As you say, Twitter will continue to dominate because it has  ‘a much larger userbase and many active educator networks’.  However a lot of academics shy away from it so alternatives are always welcome.

It’s possible but I wouldn’t like to say more than that 🙂 Staff often have no choice about anonymous marking so it’s a question of seeing how principles of good feedback can still be accommodated alongside or in spite of it.

I agree that varied assessment formats are definitely the way to go.

 

It also needs to be relevant to the learning in format & in kind. An essay is not a suitable form of assessment of a practical skill for example.

If I was extolling the virtues of online feedback & marking, I wouldn’t major on faster feedback as I suspect that might well not be achieved in the early days.

However, there are a lot of potential advantages – if it’s used well – as Linda says above.

For students:
