Abstract

Quality assurance is integral to good teaching. It requires a commitment from students to provide regular feedback, and from teachers to analyze and act on information received. The organisation and analysis of student feedback is time-consuming and difficult to co-ordinate for a complex clinical course. Web-based feedback using a dedicated school web-site offers the advantage of ease of collation of student assessment ratings and comments. In Year 4 of the undergraduate course at Guys, Kings and St Thomas’ School of Medicine, Kings College London, web-based student feedback of large group teaching was compared with traditional paper based methods using response rates and quality of assessments. The preference of teachers for both methods was assessed and their comments sought. The advantages and disadvantages of both methods will be presented.
