Abstract

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, universities had to change to online teaching and learning at short notice. This presented a number of challenges to both lecturers and students. One of the challenges for lecturers is a lack of continuous feedback from students. In a traditional class, the lecturer gets non-verbal feedback from students, for example nodding heads, and verbal feedback, for example questions and comments. It is difficult to lecture without these feedback mechanisms. To overcome this challenge, a weekly rating system was implemented to provide students with the opportunity to give continuous, anonymous feedback to the lecturer.
