Feedback, Recommendations and Responses

Source: Unit Coordinator reflection.
Feedback
Students remained highly engaged over the term and were comfortable with Wiki operation, contributing regularly to these over the term.
Recommendation
Continue to provide a familiarisation session for students on the online Wikis during Week 1 of the term.
Action Taken
Following consultation with relevant Heads of Courses and the previous Unit Coordinator for this unit, there were changes to assessments to improve student engagement in this unit. Resultingly, an Update Unit Proposal was submitted and approved prior to Term 2, 2025, which resulted in a change of assessments. Consequently, the summative assessment involving Wiki's was removed. However, Wikis were still included as formative assessment activities and students were still given guidance on the online Wikis to get familiarised with this learning tool.

Encourage student discussion on the weekly topics via the online forums.
Recommendation
Encourage students to share their thoughts on the Moodle discussion forums about the weekly topics over the term via the Zoom session support sessions and emails.
