Abstract

In 2021 we piloted the use of audio feedback in Grade Centre and Turnitin during 2021/22 to assess the 106 Level 6 Business Plan assignments. This presentation will reflect on the responses from Level 6 students to receiving feedback in an audio format. We will discuss how audio feedback as a digital assessment tool has enabled the Business Studies team within the Fashion, Textiles & Fashion Communication programme to provide coherent and engaging feedback which is more accessible and useful to students. We will also explore how audio feedback can enhance formative assessment by minimising the misunderstandings which can happen with written assessments. The use of audio feedback enhances the digital assessment tool we implemented in 2020 which uses rubrics to streamline the assessment process and improve feedback for large student cohorts and represents a process of continual improvement.
