Video and audio are powerful tools in providing personalised and focused feedback. They provide the opportunity to talk through a student’s individual assignment, point by point, or provide broader constructive comments that will strengthen students’ understanding of the field and their performance in future assessment tasks (Ryan et al. 2019).
There are a number of strategies that you can use to implement video and audio feedback into your teaching. For more information, view this feedback guide.
Recommendations
- View these suggested guidelines for structuring your video feedback.
- Combine your video feedback with screen capture and annotation of student work so your feedback can be highly specific.
- Speak directly to the camera and use the student’s name to personalise your feedback.
- Students can be highly sensitive to tone of voice and body language. If you are in a bad mood, consider putting off recording feedback for another time.
How to create video feedback
Video feedback can be used to provide an overall feedback video or individual assignment feedback. You can use screen capture to reference the student’s assignment directly, providing clarity and context for your feedback. There are a number of ways that you could provide video feedback.
Provide a direct link to feedback |
You can record general or specific assessment feedback by starting a Zoom meeting with just yourself and recording to the Zoom cloud. Once you have ended the Zoom meeting, your recording will be processed and you will receive an email with the link to the recording which you can send directly to students.

From the Moodle assignment grader |
You can record feedback inside of the Moodle assignment grading page in the feedback comments section. You can use the video or audio icon, but it is recommended that you use Panopto to record video feedback. For more information, see Creating video feedback for students.
