Giving Students Audio-Visual Feeback
Cross-posted from: Academic Technology @ Keene State College. Thanks to Judy Brophy for this great article.
Let's imagine that you're correcting a student paper and you note an error. You wish your student was right there so you could just talk briefly to her... but you can't, so you pick up your pen and start to write in the margin. You note her mistake and ask a few probing questions to try and help her for her next version of her draft.
STOP! You can provide meaningful auditory feedback to your student by using Jing desktop video tool. You can record your comments (you will need an external microphone or your computer must have a built in microphone) and upload the video with one click. Your student will get her paper with a url embedded as a comment near the the area that needs attention. Now she can hear your feedback in the context of the problem.
Jim Glading, adjunct professor at Southern NH University and Daniel Webster College used a Jing video to give feedback to a student who needed help with a citation for a paper.

Jing is awesome! I love it!!!!!!!!
We have been using Jing at St. Petersburg College since it first came out. We also have many instructors using Jing for video feedback for papers submitted. (http://it.spcollege.edu/it/blog/?p=173). The only issue is the bandwidth. One instructor had so many students viewing the videos, the free bandwidth was used up. To pay for additional bandwidth is expensive. It would be nice for TechSmith to have some type of educational pricing for more bandwidth.
@Alan Shapiro - Thanks for your comment. I'm excited to hear that you're using Jing so effectively at your college. Here is a possible solution to the bandwidth problem:
I assume your school has some servers of their own, right? Instead of hosting the video feedback on screencast.com, you can configure Jing so it uploads the videos via FTP to your own server. That way, the school's bandwidth and storage is being used and I assume they don't have a limit for professors?
Here is an article on the FTP configuration: http://help.jingproject.com/share/the-ftp-button/

I hope this was helpful. Let me know how it goes.

Jing rocks for helping me give student tips. Here's an article about my experience:

Hi, thank you very much. good job.
very good, thank you for your posting. It help me a lot.
If I use the audio part of jing for a corrected paper to a student, is the link secure so the public cna't hear or see it? Thanks
Hello Mell,
The public would have a 1 in 10^28 chance of randomly guessing the sequence of letters and numbers that make up the Jing URL.
By far the bigger danger would be if a student saw the URL in an email or got ahold of it in some more mundane fashion.
Good question!

That is a really useful tool which I am going to implement in my next class at Curtin. Thank you for the heads up on jing.

We had no idea this existed! We're excited to put it into practice for our team.
That's quite an interesting idea. I remember hating being grilled by my professors in front of the entire class. Receiving my mistakes in my email box? Perfect solution!

nice, I can use Jing for feedback among my team members.
“customer” also has a more generalized meaning as in customer service and a less commercialized meaning in not-for-profit areas. To avoid unwanted implications in some areas such as government services, community services, and education

I use Jing for my practice in giving feedback all the time. Students like hearing my voice (I teach online). I also have found that they are more likely to correct errors if they are able to see how to do so.
Interesting article!!!Nice writing, thanks for sharing your post with me！Thanks for sharing such a valuable information！
i'm also a student.I like Jing' blog,

Made its appearance in evacuations from the bowels; but instead of this favorable termination, it often happened that reaction was followed by fever which frequently proved fatal. After death, whioh generally took place in from six to twenty-four hours, the fingers, toes, and lower jaw were in some instances seen to move; and even the head was observed to shake, and the legs to approach each other.
But it is the preventive plan alone which affords a shadow of hope.The gums should be frequently examined, and freely lanced, they giving the first symptoms of irritation. But the most important measures, without which all others may prove ineffectual, is early removal to a healthy locality. A ohild predisposed to bowel diseases, if resident of a city, should be sent into the country as early as June.Diaitized bvGoogle335

I never heard of the Apple TV. Good info you share here. Just a browser browsing the web and came across this website.
Good question, Chris. Something to investigate... especially since the second side of Abbey Road is one of my most oft-played group of MP3 files!
Your article is very interesting and humorous. From your article, I can see the true meaning of the word happy. This article, I believe many people are helpful. Very fortunate to share this article to your. Look forward to your updates.
Of,course! As well know, your article is very attractive, many of my friends have such thoughts, like so many people comment on your articles, look forward to your new works
Thank you for such a fantastic blog. Where else could anyone get that kind of info written in such a perfect way? I have a presentation that I am presently working on, and I have been on the look out for such information.
Jing is a great tool! My professors used it in college for my online courses and it was great to actually hear their comments rather than reading them.
