In last night’s #LTHEChat Phil Race (@RacePhil) led us on a reflection of the feedback we’ve received and given. Here are the questions and my answers:
Q1. What was the single most important piece of feedback you ever gained? #LTHEchat pic.twitter.com/xTih7fXYkJ

A1: "it ain't what you do it's the way that you do it?" … no, on reflection that was Fun Boy 3 & Bananarama #lthechat

A1: actually finding it hard to remember any feedback. #lthechat

Q2. What was the single most damaging piece of feedback you have ever had to weather? #LTHEchat pic.twitter.com/T2R52veskO

… I've had imposter syndrome ever since I think … after 30 years on the job! #LTHEChat

Q3. To what extent do the present systems and metrics get in the way of making feedback work for learners? #LTHEchat pic.twitter.com/KZ2CIbHzLn
— LTHE Tweetchat (@LTHEchat) October 19, 2016
A3: seems that getting it back in x days is more important than making it useful … then again, making it useful takes so long! #lthechat

A3: prominence of the low score for FB in NSS leads to knee-jerk "solutions" from management that don’t actually improve things #LTHEChat

Q4. ‘Feedback needs to be a dialogue, not a monologue’: what are your views? #LTHEchat pic.twitter.com/Ux7GJc6DkL
— LTHE Tweetchat (@LTHEchat) October 19, 2016
A4: I would agree but outside of the Oxbridge tutorial system how is dialogue to be achieved?

Q5. ‘Written feedback lacks the power of the warmth of face-to-face feedback’: how can we use oral feedback dialogue better? #lthechat pic.twitter.com/LNqfFKxhtr

Q6. With a magic wand, how would you change the feedback world? #LTHEchat pic.twitter.com/ZcQNBHObL8

A6: Get a Tardis so that I could have more time and clone myself so that it could do one-on-one f2f for 100s of Ss simultaneously. #LTHEChat

A6: thinking of TARDISes, I suppose I could go back in time to see how Socrates did the Socratic Method first hand. #LTHEchat
— (((Chris Jobling))) (@cpjobling) October 19, 2016
A6: We all benefit from constructive feedback … so let’s do more of it together. #LTHEChat

All in all
Thanks @LTHEchat & @RacePhil. Great #LTHEChat as ever. A+
