Examining Asynchronous Video Feedback in a Blended Course
Abstract: In this study, we examined instructor text and video feedback in technology integration courses that combined face-to-face with online instruction for preservice teachers. Analysis of feedback comments found video comments had significantly higher word counts and contained more comments that provided students with praise and support. Video feedback comments also contained more non-content related comments that appeared to build relationships between the instructor and students. However, text feedback contained more specific correction. As a result we recommend that instructors provide video feedback at the start of the semester and other times when students require more affective support. Instructors may find that feedback is most effective when they provide specific corrections in text and then elaborate on that feedback using video.
