Communicate 4.2.2 Digital Feedback Forum

Using the examples above as a point of reference, locate three digital resources that could be utilized when evaluating student work and discuss in your blog how these resources would enhance the level of specific feedback offered to students.

1. I find that screencasts are a simple and very effective tool for evaluation.  If I have a digital copy of a student paper, I can place comments upon it, while I also record my audio feedback.  In this way the student can see both the commentary, and hear my thought process as I include them.  screencast-o-matic.com
2. In addition to screencasts, I also enjoy using turnitin.com with my students.  Not only does the program check for plagiarism, but it also has options available for grammar instruction and gives suggested re-wordings of student work.  In fact, I think that one could do a screencast that initially focused upon the student's work, and then goes through the turnitin.com process. 
3. Links to the OWL at the Purdue library are also very helpful for student work.  The list of topics is well over 500 and contains a wide range of resources from higher order concerns such as how to start a paper, to lower order concerns such as how to use dashes correctly.  Like the above, it would be helpful for a student to give one or two links about aspects of their writing that might need some more direction.
