The spelling mistake: Scene one, take one
8 December 2006
Russell Stannard
Westminster lecturer Russell Stannard is videoing himself marking essays so that students get the most out of feedback. He reports on small-screen success
Imagine you videoed yourself every time you marked a student's work. Imagine you could open up a student's essay on your computer screen, press a button and from that moment on everything you said and any corrections you made on the work were all recorded on video. If you highlighted something, underlined a spelling mistake or talked about the organisation of the essay, it would all be recorded. Then you simply clicked a button and e-mailed the video to the student. They could then play it back, and listen and watch as you commented on their essay. You could get them to watch the video and then redraft their essay. Moreover, it wouldn't require any fancy software, just standard screen recorder software that works at a click of the mouse.
