Description

Feedback is a somewhat perennial topic within higher education (HE), with increasing emphasis on students as independent learners who should engage as active participants to fulfil the role of a self-regulated learner.

In this episode we speak to Dr. Kurt Coppens who works within the ETHER (Engineering Technology Education Research) research group, at the Faculty of Engineering Technology, KU Leuven, Belgium and whose PhD focused on the feedback literacy of engineering students.

Join Dr. Natalie Wint (University College London) and Dr. Neil Cooke (University of Birmingham) to learn about the role of feedback literacy in engineering education!
