WHAT IT IS:

In a 2007 study, Ice, et al found that the use of asynchronous audio feedback demonstrated substantial gains over written feedback alone, including both in usability and student engagement. Audio and/or video feedback leverages the use of recorded messages to deliver rich and precise feedback on student work.

HOW IT WORKS:

Instead of written feedback, the teacher records feedback on student work and performance either as audio or video. Depending on the nature of student work, this can be accomplished with a myriad of tools and resources, including simple audio or video recordings with a camera or phone as well as more precise tools like screencasting or screen recording.
