| Abstract | With the rapid development of new computer mediated technologies, instructors have more options of the modalities of responding to student writing. Whereas traditionally, responses have been written by hand, technological developments allow responses to take very different forms. Some of these technologies, such as word processing, mimic the text-on-page techniques inherent to hand-written responses. Others, including audio feedback via voice recordings, or audio visual feedback using screencasts, move away from text-on-page and take on aural forms. I examine the promises and limitations of modalities of feedback to student writing, scrutinizing if and how different modalities can either encourage certain best practices of responding to student or possibly make adhering to such practices difficult. Furthermore, I scrutinize two underlying assumptions that complicate the current scholarship on modalities of response: digital access and literacies and second language learners. |
