Overview
The Disruptive Media Learning Lab (DMLL) is engaged in a variety of applied innovation and research activities. Part of this involves the evaluation of the tools and resources developed through our work and a wider evaluation into the DMLLs role and impact across Coventry University and Higher Education more widely.
We’re seeking two types of feedback to support our evaluations. The first is immediate feedback to trace the success of the tools utilised, and the second is long term feedback to see how their use has affected teaching, learning and the student experience. Both forms of feedback are collected through the same survey.
Join the Study
Joining the research is simple. All you need to do is complete our Unified Evaluation Questionnaire detailing which DMLL initiative you have engaged in and provide feedback. If you have any questions, please contact Prof. Sylvesyter Arnab, research lead for this study.
Immediate Feedback
We are seeking to evaluate the immediate experience of those using our tools and resources in activities and teaching sessions. The immediate feedback side of the study involved the completion of the Unified Evaluation Questionnaire immediately prior to an activity such as a workshop, active learning session, or talk.
Long Term Feedback
Our goal with long term feedback is to evaluate whether the activities developed and promoted by the Lab have a demonstrable impact on the overall student experience and attainment in a module or course. This long term feedback will help us to focus our efforts and resources on what really matters – helping our students.
