“Instructors who don’t grade online will quickly become converts once they see how fast and easy the grading process can be using voice comments.”
- Cindy Raisor, Texas A&M University

 Wish you could speak personally to each of your students when giving them feedback on their written work? Now you can! Instructors using Turnitin have the ability to leave a voice comment in GradeMark to give students more personalized, substantive feedback.
With just a few clicks, you can quickly record a detailed message that conveys your ‘tone’ so your comments aren’t misinterpreted. If you teach online/distance learning classes or a large class, you’ll find this feature especially helpful, as will those in disciplines with assignments graded on content vs. writing skills, such as science lab reports. Additionally, those who teach ELLs can fully explain their feedback in more understandable terms using voice comments.
Test the new voice comments feature now in our GradeMark Interactive Tutorial.   Once you open the tutorial, go to the bottom of the right sidebar and click on this icon:
