Students and academic reflections of iPhone audio feedback experience

Audio feedback for Engineering and Computing students has been produced for the last five academic years using an iPhone. The feedback has been applied to support their learning about the professional experience to enhance their employability. The benefits of audio feedback have been widely reported by the author and other academic practitioners, however its distribution can be problematic. This case study highlights how iPhone audio feedback production and distribution can be simplified to provide improved and effective high quality feedback to benefit both students and their tutors. iPhone audio feedback was provided to 130+ students in the 2010-211, and 200+ in 2011-2012. This study draws upon the reflections of the two student cohorts between 2010-2012 and considers the potential of the approach for feeding forward into the ongoing learning of students.
