Real-time Feedback From Learners

Real-time Feedback From Learners
Chat rooms and polling services provide good ways to hear from all of the Learners in a learning environment.


These kind of tools allow shy learners to...

1. ask questions and
2. share comments.

For more outspoken learners who want to comment on everything, a feedback mechanism provides a good outlet for them as well.

Today's Post is the result of revisiting backchannel and informal assessment tools, for gathering real-time feedback from learners, and realising many feedback tools have shutdown and others have been updated.

Backchannel Chat - http://backchannelchat.com/ - is a service that provides exactly what its name implies.

Backchannel Chat is designed for educational discussions, it provides all the tools an educator could need to facilitate on-line discussions.

Once educators have created their free backchannel room (chat room) they can post comments and questions for their learners to respond to.

Learners can...

• respond in real-time. 
• ask their educator and fellow learners questions within the confines of the Backchannel Chat room.

NOTE: The free version of Backchannel Chat limits you to 30 participants at a time.
Backchannel Chat is also available for mobile devices from the...

• App Store - https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/backchannel-chat/id689703051?ls=1&mt=8 and
• Google Play - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.backchannelchat

If you give Backchannel Chat a try or have already used Backchannel Chat, do share your feedback, positive and/or negative, in the comments.
Thank you.
