As the importance of feedback on student learning is well established, in English classes instructors are particularly concerned with how to provide feedback on student writing assignments. Feedback is traditionally paper-based; it may be highly structured (i.e., scoring rubrics and keywords) to loosely structured (i.e., instructor commentary). Selecting new and more effective approaches for provision of feedback merits further exploration. This paper explores shifting to screen-capture and audio feedback in video form for freshman writing classes, with a particular interest in student perception of this approach along with impact on student performance and the possibility of facilitating extensive feedback.
