Another example of how the Voice Tools have helped GippsTAFE students include courses for "industries students" who, for whatever reason, have low levels of literacy or poor English skills. The voice technologies allow students to have a positive online experience not burdened with the need for a lot of textual skills.
"The use of the Voice Board for audio "blogging" is also proving successful (students keep an oral journal). When you the teacher ask students to record their thoughts orally, you do get a greater insight as the teacher into the thought process that is occurring for that student.
You can hear again through the tone in their voice more information. If you do it in a text environment the students are far more likely to give you a polished product at the end. But is it limited because they really are trying to give you a professional or formal view. Whereas if you're as assessor are wanting to actually have more of an insight into the reflection and the thought processes the student is going through, an oral form of communication is a much better way of doing it."
