Previous Student Feedback

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Feedback from Self reflection.

Feedback

While many students benefit from learning activities provided during tutorial sessions, not all students are taking advantage of these opportunities.

Recommendation

Implement an upgraded video streaming production workflow with a new hardware video switcher to enhance the quality of live online tutorials and tutorial recordings. This updated setup will include the integration of multiple presenter cameras, dynamic Zoom chat overlays, and improved video quality for both live streaming and recorded content.

Feedback from Student feedback (comments on SUTE student teacher evaluation).

Feedback

Student feedback was received that not all students could attend tutorials and felt they may have been disadvantaged.

Recommendation

Communicate more clearly to students that the introduction and conclusion sections of tutorials, which summarise the key content discussed in the class, are recorded. Teaching materials will be developed to provide more specific examples to students on how they can engage with their peers in order to have a similar learning experience to students who are able to engage in live tutorial classes
