A quick story

• In 2000 I saw screen capture technology for the first time.

• Allows you to record the screen of your computer

• I thought ‘this can be used for feedback”

• But it took me 6 years to find out how to do it.


The idea startsFirst example just correcting grammar.Providing general

feedback to the whole classProviding feedback on vocabularyProviding feedback on grammarBegan to realise it could be applied to all

subjects and contextsFeedback on blogsLong essays on MA programme

Impacting on Quality


• Student’s like the voice.• Students’ feel it is more personal.• More information is conveyed.• Feedback can be elaborated on.• Feedback can be very timely.• Like ‘having the teacher sitting next to you’.• Multimodal –Student learning styles.• Motivating/authentic listening material• Special needs students• Stylistic benefits

The technologyOriginal work done with Techsmith

Camtasia I then began to use JING ( free tool)More recently began to work with SnagIt

( about $30 for educational version)Experimented with other free tools like

ScreenR and Screencast-o-maticHelp videos for all these tools can be found

on my website @

Change of focusGet the students using screen capturePeer reflection/feedback ( Seror in Canada)Self reflectionTeacher reflectionEven for developing speaking skillsReflection on dissertations


Present.MeProving very popularStudents can upload PDF, Word, PowerPoint

and then add webcam recordigFree for up to 60 minutesGreat for distance learning, pair work oral

work etc.Now using both screen capture tools and

Present. Me for reflection

ConclusionsDespite suggesting this idea more than 8 years

ago it is only now that it is really possible.Idea can be used for a huge range of areas of

teaching and learning.More research beginning to emerge.Enormous interest in the idea including a second

visit to the University of Oxford in August

Feedback, Speaking, Reflection, Distance Learning, Flipped Classroom
