  • could you please send us an email to MOOCs@unsw.edu.au and tell us more about your system/browser and 'symptoms'? this will greatly help with the debugging. many thanks!

  • With very small samples, patterns are less likely to emerge, unless it is something that all agree upon. However, don't forget to focus on the purpose: the fact that you demonstrate that you care about what students have to say and take action is paramount in creating a trusting environment and build rapport with the students (and this will be a lot more...

  • Both observations are very interesting: why do you think that open questions lead to worse responses? what evidence do you have that this is the case?
    Flipping the problem, apart for the order of magnitude, what does it mean that the results from a questionnaire about how satisfied students are with an element of your course is 3.1 as opposed to 3.2 out of...

  • I am curious about the type of analysis you developed for forums: what type of observations were you able to draw and what did you find out? would you mind sharing this with the group?

  • lorenzo vigentini replied to [Learner left FutureLearn]

    i am quite surprised that nobody replied to your prompt! It may be a consequence that the unit is too far back in the past. However, what can you do differently next time to implement this evaluation activity?

  • Thanks for the feedback; when we designed the tool, the 'to do' interface in FL was very rudimental. Further, what you have in the tool allows you to review what's missing, together with an overview of the course structure, which some earlier students asked for.
    Would you mind to elaborate more on what you mean with 'feedback section'?

  • Please send us more details as it will help debug it. Please email us (moocs@unsw.edu.au) information about your connection/device, operating system and browser and a screenshot will be very useful.
    If everything else fails, you can still see the details and access the original videos on YouTube; see details in the additional docs in step 1.13...

  • hi folks, i'm delighted to see the lively exchanges around this activity (both the content and the tool).
    Regarding the tool, this is an experimental tool we are trying out (that's why there is a PDF as linked document with the detailed descriptions and links). We had some technical issues today (Australia time) which we hope should be fixed. Apart for...

  • Thanks for the note; we have updated the step to reflect this and explain the mismatch.

  • Thomas, this is an experimental step: we are confident that you have not seen anything like it in any other mooc. We are pushing the boundaries a bit and there are a few more scattered in the course. The tool is available, but if you are having any issue loading the content let us know. Refreshing the page may help, but we will be monitoring closely and any...

  • Welcome on this course, we certainly hope you will enjoy it!
