Peer Feedback in Blended Learning: What do they do? What do they learn?

Description

This talk will look at the feedback forums of three consecutive blended learning EFL writing courses to find out whether giving e-feedback might be a particularly effective way of producing learning through negotiation of meaning. It will investigate and attempt to quantify whether the feedback given contributes to in-depth revisions of a text (introductions to academic articles).The feedback comments of students in three forums will be classified as to whether they are (merely) supportive/ encouraging, critical or corrective, whether they concern content, language or organisation of text and whether they attempt to provide in-depth comments. We will also analyse to which extent peer feedback is taken up in the revised versions of the texts and look at student evaluations of the feedback given and received to see how students value the comments they get.
