Abstract

Open Mentor (OM) was conceived as a tool to support tutors' feedback practices by classifying comments added to an assignment using Bales interaction analysis taxonomy and reporting the results of the analysis in summarized views.

This report will explain Bale’s Taxonomy and describe the evaluation that was carried out at King’s College London, the University of Southampton and the Open University, UK.
