Principal Investigator: Dr Ian Donaldson Project Title: Evaluating feedback and feed forward in online and paper clinical practice assessment Funder name: Centre for Excellence in Leaning (CEL) BU Description: Student self-assessment and mentor feedback are essential for effective learning in practice. Academic support for students is also vital in order to enable students to use feedback to progress and to monitor emerging issues. The Faculty of health and Social Sciences has developed an online practice assessment for learning (OPAL) tool that Level C Midwifery and Adult Nursing students are piloting. This project will, firstly, identify the impact OPAL has on the quality and timeliness of self-assessment and mentor feedback compared with paper documents, by analysing student portfolios against feedback criteria; secondly, evaluate the value of contemporaneous access to students’ portfolios for academic staff.
