	Do you sometimes feel that your written feedback is not as effective as the verbal feedback you give to your students? Research suggests that students want specific and detailed feedback from their instructors ([http://www.ncolr.org/issues/jiol/v9/n1/student-interactions-in-online-discussion-forum-empirical-research-from-media-richness-theory-perspective#.VpZ2LbYrKM8 Balaji & Chakrabarti, 2010]). Sometimes written feedback can become white noise to students who often admit they don't read it. Students are able to detect nuance more effectively, understand content more thoroughly, and engage with the instructor at a more personal level through audio feedback than through written feedback. Audio feedback is an option that saves time, cuts through the ‘noise,’ and is preferred by students ([http://www.sloanconsortium.org/sites/default/files/v11n2_ice_0.pdf Ice, Curtis, Phillips, and Wells, 2007]). This is not to say that written feedback is not valued, but voice is particularly impactful in our text-based world.
