Digitalised course evaluation and feedback - Perspectives of university lecturers

This paper presents the perspectives of university lecturers on a digitalised form of course evaluation, which facilitates interactive feedback between lecturers and students. Semi-structured expert interviews were used to obtain the raw data, which is analysed using the grounded theory methodology. The analysis of the lecturers' perspective identifies three approaches to using digitalised course evaluation. Approach A comes closest to the classic evaluation at the end of a course. Approach B is dominated by a relief motive, and approach C features an additional pedagogical motive that considers the feedback discussion itself as a didactic method.
