Recording, Saving, and Editing Audio Feedback for Educators

Use this page to learn how to record, save, and/or edit the audio recording made to provide feedback to students. Audio feedback allows educators to provide more personalized, detailed guidance than written comments alone. Hearing feedback in an educator's voice can help students better understand expectations, clarify misunderstandings, and feel more connected to their instructor. Audio feedback may also be beneficial for students who process spoken communication more effectively than written feedback.
