Abstract
Giving feedback through audio means has become increasingly popular amongst educators. Educators are using a variety of audio feedback methods but which method is optimal? Are certain methods better suited to certain assessment types? Do different types of learners respond better to different methods? Three common forms of audio feedback are investigated in the present study to determine the optimal method from both an assessor and learner perspective: audio-only (MP3 files), asynchronous audio-visual (embedded audio files in PDF documents), and synchronous audio-visual (video/audio screen capture). From both assessor and learner perspectives, the optimal method would have a positive impact on learning and be easy to use. In evaluating three methods, the assessment type determined the optimal method whereas student preference varied by student performance. Learners and assessors have similar preferences, preferring audio only the least and the other two methods about equally.
