ABSTRACT The use of learning management systems in higher education provides a means for connecting students and faculty online and provides numerous options in the provision of feedback for student work. How students perceive and utilize feedback is an ongoing area of research that reaches all disciplines in education. Data on students’ use of audio and written feedback were collected from students who volunteered to complete an online questionnaire. The findings of a qualitative study of 116 undergraduate university students’ perceptions about audio and written feedback is presented. Most participants reported a preference for written feedback over audio feedback; mostly due to visually being able to see their strengths and areas to improve on their work. Students found it difficult to follow instructor comments on the audio recordings in connection with their written document; however, students would like to have both assessment modalities on future assignments as they appreciated the personal nature of hearing the instructors’ voice. Results showed a significant association between students’ perceived learning style and type of feedback preference. This study demonstrated that using various forms of feedback and researching new technologies will help determine student and instructor feedback preferences and guide future teaching practices.

从学生和教师的角度概述音频和书面反馈

摘要在高等教育中使用学习管理系统提供了一种在线连接学生和教职员工的方法，并提供了许多为学生工作提供反馈的选择。学生如何感知和利用反馈是一个持续不断的研究领域，涉及教育的所有学科。从自愿填写在线调查表的学生那里收集有关学生使用音频和书面反馈的数据。提出了对116名大学生对音频和书面反馈的看法进行定性研究的结果。大多数参与者报告说他们倾向于书面反馈而不是音频反馈。主要是因为在视觉上能够看到他们的优势和领域，以改进他们的工作。学生发现很难跟随教师对他们书面文件中录音的评论；但是，学生希望对未来的作业有两种评估方式，因为他们欣赏听到讲师声音的个性。结果表明，学生的感知学习风格与反馈偏好类型之间存在显着关联。这项研究表明，使用各种形式的反馈和研究新技术将有助于确定学生和教师的反馈偏好，并指导未来的教学实践。结果表明，学生的感知学习风格与反馈偏好类型之间存在显着关联。这项研究表明，使用各种形式的反馈和研究新技术将有助于确定学生和教师的反馈偏好，并指导未来的教学实践。结果表明，学生的感知学习风格与反馈偏好类型之间存在显着关联。这项研究表明，使用各种形式的反馈和研究新技术将有助于确定学生和教师的反馈偏好，并指导未来的教学实践。
