In my current and ongoing research, I investigate the wicked problem of how to design and develop assessment and feedback environments and practices that transform the experience of assessment and feedback for staff and students to one in which students are agentic and empowered in seeking, generating and using feedback to enhance their learning.Â
I am interested in taking on Ph.D. students on topics related to assessment and feedback, technology-enhanced and online learning and higher education.Â

Feedback is essential for supporting learning in higher education, but many students struggle to develop sustainable skills for seeking, engaging with, and using feedback effectively. Often, students do not access feedback or do not use it to improve their learning, even when formative assessment is available. Some researchers suggest that students need to develop ‘feedback literacy’ before learners can benefit from feedback. However, in this presentation, I will argue that feedback literacy and receptivity can emerge from deploying well-designed technology mediated feedback practices that involve dialogue, collaboration, and reflection. I will show how these practices can help students understand how to learn from feedback, what makes feedback useful, how to judge their own and others’ work, and how to plan and act on feedback. I will also explore how social and non-human factors can influence learners’ agency and engagement with feedback, both positively and negatively. Finally, I will discuss how technologies can enhance learners’ feedback skills and foster relationships and communities that support learning, and emotional well-being.
