Understanding effective models of audio feedback

Audio feedback involves the recording and distribution of formative feedback to students. It takes many forms and addresses many specific requirements. It allows students to reflect on their work and improve it by listening to constructive messages. Ideally the design and implementation of audio feedback is encouraging, enabling students to feed their developing understanding forward into their ongoing learning and professional practise. In this chapter we note two different approaches to audio feedback design used to support students studying Computer Networking, and Electronic and Electrical Engineering courses.
