This will save SO much time, and will ensure feedback is more engaging to students. I have frequently sent my students voice recordings in Teams Chat though it would be amazing to have the feedback directly next to their work!

This would be an incredibly helpful feature which would speed up marking and mean students paid more attention to feedback

This is really vital for teachers, particularly for any extended writing tasks. For English, marking had grown even more time consuming and laborious online. This feature would give students much more feedback than teachers annotating an essay, and many would find it much more personalised and be able to listen to it more than once to aid understanding and revision. Thank you for taking the time to read this comment

This is desperately needed for teachers of essay-based subjects who need to give a lot of specific, written feedback. I have found that a digital pen is only suitable for ticking and circling mistakes and produces almost unreadable written feedback. This means I am currently opening submitted work, inserting comments and posting them in the word doc, and then giving overall feedback in the feedback box. Great for students but very laborious for me as an English teacher. Being able to hear the teacher's voice is also very reassuring for students and gives them a sense of a human connection in this difficult time.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE INCLUDE THIS FEATURE! If I could easily record and insert an audio file for giving oral feedback to students in Assignments, as an English teacher with a very heavy marking load for essays, THIS. WOULD. CHANGE. MY. LIFE. Everyone in my department is saying how much they would love this... and I am sure that the History and REP departments would say the same! This would be a massive bonus for essay-writing subjects; a game-changer, in fact.

This would help a great deal with giving constructive feedback with regards to pronunciation with spoken tasks.

Yes please. I prefer using Assignments over Class Notebook and my students really enjoy audio presentations with the PowerPoints I am uploading. Audio feedback would be much more personal and help the students to feel connected with their teacher while we are still in lockdown and setting work online.

You'd need to consider how our Deaf students could get the equivalent feedback. Most BSL users would appreciate a signed explanation alongside a key note to refer back to. Cheers.

This would be an excellent accessibility feature but would also be useful for those who simply prefer to listen rather than read.

Yes i would vote for audio feedback, i think students are more likely to listen to an audio than read comments, this is much more easily to make personal comments too.

would give variation and students that struggle reading would benefit. Plus it may help toward mental health due to the fact they are hearing a voice and also help towards rappour due to the expectation of less F2F contact time - Jess Gibson
