I decided to try to talk to the whole group of Advanced Diploma students and this time use the Turning Point voting buttons to engage them. This was more successful than the last group - they were more animated (in fact a bit too lively) and they seemed to enjoy using the voting buttons. Jo came with me to video the session, but they did not want to be filmed. Therefore Jo tried to record their feedback by pointing the camera at the floor and simply recording audio.
After a few warm up questions, I began to ask them my questions about the use of the Learner Portal. They were happy to vote but when I asked them to expand on the answers they had given, I had difficulty in getting them to answer sensibly. They were very loud and although Jo recorded their responses it was hard to transcribe. There are a few nuggets that will be in my report.
I am not sure how much I have got out of this and whether the results are any better than if I had just asked them to complete a questionnaire. It would have been much better to do this with a small group, but they are unwilling to put themselves forward for this. Perhaps now that they have met me this might be a possibility.
