So...why FAST.Q?
• As lecturers it is often difficult to get students to engage or ask questions.
• FAST.Q’s anonymity helps prevent students feeling embarrassed asking questions.
• Allows the lecturer to actively reiterate points during the lecture that students might have problems with.– Highlighted by the FAST.Q system.
So...is it open to abuse?
• Anonymity has drawbacks also:– Disinhibition.
• If there is no monitoring, people will inevitably abuse the system– Posting inappropriate comments, etc.
• We use OAuth to help reduce the disinhibition affect.
So...OAuth!
• OAuth is used to restrict modules accessible.
• Give the notion that if people abuse the system it is logged.
So...OAuth!
So… What are FAST.Q’s Objectives?
• To improve student engagement– By allowing students to ask questions.
• To allow the lecturer to gauge student understanding of lecture content.– By collation of questions pertaining to lecture
content.
• To compare success of cohorts feedback and questions over successive years.
