The degree to which participants in computer mediated communication feel socially and emotionally connected
The ability of participants in a community of inquiry to project themselves socially and emotionally -- as ‘real’ people.
(Richardson & Swan, 2003)

How does the use of audio feedback impact the sense of community in asynchronous learning networks?
What relationship exists between the use of audio feedback and student satisfaction?
In what manner is perceived learning impacted by the use of audio feedback?
What relationship exists between the use of audio feedback and faculty satisfaction?

Read the student work Plan feedback
◦ Constructive feedback according to rubric criteria Content Writing style
◦ Placement Embed with student work Summative comments
◦ Text vs. audio comments Text – writing style Audio – personalization, critical analysis Consistent approach
Embed audio comments – intended to replicate non-scripted verbal interactions which occur face-to-face
Audio Feedback Process

Printability (e.g., sticky notes do not print)
Personalization (e.g., use of pencil tool to create checkmark vs. stamp checkmark)
Need for conciseness
Consistency of approach (i.e., grade given in text form)
Others?
Text Markup Considerations

“Excited! Looking forward to learning how to improve current practice & improve the quality of feedback for our students. Incorporating advancing technology can be challenging, but it certainly helps improve delivery & streamline our work. It’s exciting to be involved in a project such as this & to see the students responding to greater use of technology.”
“I am excited to try audio feedback. I think it will be a really positive addition to my online course.”

“I really like that software that you are using. In previous classes, I’ve had to wait for assignments to be returned via inter-office mail to see written comments; now, I can get them right away. And I really like being able to get voice comments! I could see how, as a marker, the ability to leave a voice comment would be really nice!”
“I just finished reviewing my lab assignment from you and my first thought when I heard your voice was "creepy". lol. I'm not that used to some one talking to me through my computer when I can't see them. I like the idea though. It adds a personal touch since we rarely if ever get a chance to see each other. I appreciate it. I'm sure it's added work for you.”
“The audio is pretty cool!!”
