Guichon, Nicolas; Betrancourt, Mireille; Prie, Yannick – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2012
This case study focuses on the feedback that is provided by tutors to learners in the course of synchronous online teaching. More specifically, we study how trainee tutors used the affordances of Visu, an experimental web videoconferencing system, to provide negative feedback. Visu features classical functionalities such as video and chat, and it…
