  12. Writing the feedback • Open Mentor works by stripping out tutors’ comments on an electronic assignment and based on Bale’s Interaction Process framework, applying a set of rules to these comments in order to put them into four major categories, namely Positive reactions, Teaching points, Questions and Negative reactions. It then provides feedback to the tutor about how their comments provide support to the students.

  13. Bales' Interaction Process used for the analysis in OpenMentor

  14. How to construct feedback for analysis in OpenMentor based on Bale’s rules • After an analysis of hundreds of marked assignments, the following rules were created to analyse tutors’ feedbacks. The words that OpenMentor expects to find in order to classify the feedback comments under one of the four categories described earlier are indicated in the table.

  15. Keywords per categories • Positive comments • Teaching points • Questions • Negative comments

  16. Positive: "A1">Shows tension release/"A2">Shows solidarity/"A3">Shows agreement

  17. Teaching point: B1">Gives suggestion B2">Gives opinion B3">Gives information
