Gongyeh 講嘢: A Peer Feedback System for Oral Presentation

Date: 23 February 2024 (Friday)
Time: 2:30 pm - 3:45 pm
Venue: Online via Zoom
Facilitator(s):
Dr Thomas LEE
Associate Head (Academic) and Associate Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

Abstract:
Oral presentation is one of the most widely used methods in assessing student learning outcomes of content comprehension and communication skills. Nevertheless, both students and teachers face challenges in optimizing the benefits of such learning activity. From students' perspective, they only receive a letter grade or numerical score but no feedback from the audience (teacher and classmates). From teachers' perspective, students keep making the same mistakes throughout their course of study. Besides, students' engagement in classmates' presentations is problematic. To address these issues, our team developed “Gongyeh 講嘢”—a peer feedback system for oral presentation.
