]]> Comment on Introducing Audio Feedback by Peter Evans http://colligo.wordpress.com/2009/03/11/introducing-audio-feedback/#comment-201 Peter Evans Sat, 28 Nov 2009 04:07:51 +0000 http://colligo.wordpress.com/?p=167#comment-201 I am also using audio feedback when marking electronic assignments and find it another useful approach. Rather than record all the feedback in a single file then return it, I record the audio directrly into Word as an embedded comment. These comments are less than 1 minute but they are very targetted to the particular piece of text and I might include 4 or 5 in a single assignment. Sound Recorder is used to record the comment and it allows you to convert the audio to a MP3 file at abut 200 kB per minute so the file size is not too big a problem. I find the audio to be particularly good when I am giving encouragement or wanting to convey more global feedback. I tend to use text, links, images and tables when the feedback is about a more specific issue. Another advantage of embeddeding the feedback in Word is that it is very easy to reuse the audio or other comments in future assignments. You can see an example of of marking an assignment in this way at: http://www.baker-evans.com/emarking-assistant/movies/using/ and an audio comment is inserted at about 4:20 into the 10 minute demo I am also using audio feedback when marking electronic assignments and find it another useful approach.
