Conclusion and Recommendations
In conclusion, I believe that the case study far exceeded its original expectations. It conclusively improved all students content and competency skills to a greater or lesser extent depending on the starting point of each student.
But it did much more than that; it overcame each of Winstone and Nash’s barriers that students may have when engaging with feedback. Students became aware of the relevance of feedback, they became cognisant of what they could do with feedback, they realised that they had agency and could actually do something with feedback and then students, by their own volition, engaged more fully with feedback (Winstone and Nash 2016).
Recommendations going forward include the need for this type of case-study to be part of a department-wide strategy on assessment and feedback.
Thank you
A big thank you to everyone who made this piece of work possible. To my supervisor Gerry Gallagher who is always so kind to me and has given me insightful and far-reaching feedforward all the way through; to Latin American communities for showing me that education can liberate and doesn't have to domesticate, to the courageous student group from Digital Humanities who walked the walk; to my peers from near and far who gave me feed-back on my animation and saw a piece of my heart in the process; to my gorgeous little girl who has watched far too many hours of 'Frozen' and spent far too many hours in the bath while I have been studying. Thank you
