Students Perceptions of Online Audio and Online Text Based Feedback

In 2010, Roshni Khatri presented on students perceptions of online audio and online text based feedback. Her experiences on feedback were also further disseminated in the Submission and Grading Electronically (SaGE) working group on 17th December, 2014 as they were felt to be still relevant to current cohorts.

Roshni indicated that the majority of students preferred the audio feedback when compared to the online feedback.

Students commented that:

• ‘The online written feedback was visual and suits my learning style.’
• ‘I heard my name and I paid attention!’
• ‘really helpful for me as I am able to go over the proposal and know which bits you are explaining about. I find this more helpful than having written feedback.’

The presentation noted benefits and problems with the process and made suggestions for  further work.
