Student feedback using Tegrity

Instructor who teaches Microsoft Access and Excel. She often needs to give contextual feedback for students, showing them how they made mistakes in the database, etc.

She opens the student submission and records in Tegrity, using her private classroom. She then generates a class link and pastes that into the ANGEL comment box. Remember when generating the link, remember to uncheck the authentication so students can easily view from email etc.

She only makes the video when significant comments are needed - for other students

Block the students name out and re use the video as instruction for future students or create a special recording for students in general

Lots of time saved, faster than typing and reduces student visits and questions. Usually her videos are only 1-2 minutes long. Students can watch it over and over. Personalized feedback makes the student feel like she is more connected to them, can feel like an office visit for students.

She has surveyed students. She has found that they view the classroom Tegrity recordings more than they did before.

To stay in motion, she keeps Tegrity open in one tab and ANGEL open in another tab so she doesn't wait for it to upload, she keeps on grading and goes back to Tegrity later to grab the link.
