Exploring the Impact of Screencast Video Feedback in a Japanese University

Sat, Sep 16, 14:15-14:40 Asia/Tokyo

Location: Room 4

In recent years, the utilisation of screencast technology to provide multimedia feedback to students has gained popularity in educational contexts. However, there remains a dearth of examples showcasing this practice within Japanese universities. This presentation aims to help fill this gap by sharing the findings from a semester-long project where formative feedback on student writing on two reading and writing courses was provided using screencast video feedback. The on-going research encompasses two primary data sources: i) reflective insights from the instructor and ii) quantitative and qualitative surveys collected from the students. By presenting the results of the student surveys, this session will contribute to the existing knowledge on screencast video feedback, both in Japan and elsewhere, while the instructor provides an account of their experience in relation to prior research. The session promises to be engaging and dynamic, incorporating multimedia elements, including a video demonstration showcasing the methods employed to deliver the screencast feedback. By exploring the effectiveness and impact of screencast video feedback in a Japanese university context, this presentation offers valuable insights for educators seeking to enhance feedback practices and foster meaningful learning experiences for their students.
