Sounds Good

The aims of the project were to investigate whether it was possible to give richer feedback to students and save assessors’ time. Building on very small-scale work using MP3 files for summative feedback on one programme, the Sounds Good team widened the focus to both formative and summative feedback in various disciplines at different educational levels. The experimentation included delivering digital sound files containing feedback to students via a virtual learning environment, email and widely available mobile devices such as MP3 players.
