Title: Orally Recorded Exam Feedback: A New Method of Communicating with Students

Abstract:

While written comments are a popular and potentially effective method of student exam feedback, that strategy can definitely be improved. In this paper, I discuss the use of orally-recorded exam feedback. After assigning points to a student's exam solutions, I create a sound file of detailed exam comments for each individual student. The student can then securely access this file. The oral feedback is more understandable for and motivating to the students, and this method of grading is potentially timesaving for the instructor.
