And find out how Vibbl supports collaboration and continuous professional development among teachers, and how it provides valuable analytics to track feedback effectiveness.

Key Quotes

"Verbal feedback adds an additional seven months of learning, whereas written marking adds an additional five months of learning."

“When you give verbal feedback, you have the tone of voice within that piece of information and that can make a big difference, I believe, in how a student relates to that feedback."

'We’ve built a tool that allows teachers to very quickly record verbal feedback in a no nonsense, quick and easy way that they can then send to their students.”

"The biggest challenge is changing behaviours. One of the things that we were mindful of when we built Vibbl is to build it in a way that was similar to the way in which teachers mark in that it's very difficult to change a behavior where someone's been doing something for two decades."
