Building on very small-scale work using MP3 files for summative feedback on one programme, the Sounds Good team will widen the focus to both formative and summative feedback in various disciplines at different educational levels. The experimentation will include delivering digital sound files containing feedback to students via a virtual learning environment, email and mobile devices such as widely-available MP3 players.

Long post about experience of using audio feedback on student work.  Uses Wimba Voice Tools to record and distribute the feedback.

Giving students feedback on work by audio rather than text.  Blog post with some useful links to current audio feedback projects.

Just in time, personalised feedback - using Twitter

A high level view of the the academic process of assessment and feedback.

"Feedback, group work and a visible papertrail are all effortless gains. Display student work for class discussion, comment on student posts as feedback; set homework to post short peer critiques; devise project tasks requiring reading multiple peers' work and synthesising an overview with linked references."

"Let's now take a closer look at each of the key components that comprise the [Community of Inquiry] COI and then explore the use of audio feedback to promote teaching presence."

The Writing Researcher is a new open activity which aims to bring researchers from different disciplines, institutions and countries together to share their writing and provide peer-feedback ina rather informal, friendly environment. ... As it reads in the blog we have set up for the project, The Writing Researcher: Inspiration, Creativity, Fluency  aims to: 1. promote and support writing as a creative, scholarly and collaborative enterprise, 2. encourage discussion and peer feedback in a distributed, shared environment, 3. establish an international, inter-disciplinary, inter-cultural peer network.
