[nobe-l] Study on Sound-Based Writing Instruction

[Emily K. Michael]

Hi all, 

I’m passing along this message from the Disability Rhetoric email list. I know that we’ve discussed audio feedback on this list before, so maybe some of you will qualify for this study on sound-based writing instruction. 

Best,
Emily

> Attachment: UA Consent Form

> Researchers in the English department are looking at ways that instructors use soundwriting, or sound-based writing instruction, to facilitate the learning process. Learning is complex for many reasons, not the least of which is having to work with several learning styles in just one classroom. We think that soundwriting is just one way of catering to the many ways that students learn. But we need to learn more, and that’s where you come in!   
> 
> The purpose of taking the following survey is to measure your acquaintance with sound-based writing instruction. We are referring to any class you’ve taken where the instructor used sound of any kind during his/her teaching of writing, such as audio feedback on essays or podcasts that students were supposed to listen and respond. We are particularly interested in how accessible this type of instruction was, as well as to what extent the material you learned during this instruction was applied outside the classroom.
> 
> Completing the survey should take about 15-30 minutes. Your responses will help to improve research with writing class technologies. You will not receive any direct benefits from this study, but you will help to improve writing instruction for future students. Names and identifiers will be removed.
