Helping Students Help Themselves: The application of low stake, instant feedback, driving small incremental improvements to immerse students in course content.

Mandy Morrell; Carole Morrell

Abstract

The instant-immediate world contemporary students have grown up in, can provide us with insight into relating HE to a new breed of learners. It aims to improve measurable performance through the application of low stake, instant feedback immersion into module content. Encouraging students to accept iterative ‘failure and learning cycles’ to achieve small increments of achievement, develops resilience and engagement. This is achieved through evaluating the impact of regular student interaction with short challenges and their correlating assessment grades, comparing achievement based on self-motivation with tutor-initiated interaction. The paper introduces a broader investigation into motivational factors and gaming style rewards.
