Voice Comments with Kaizena


Kaizena is a Google extension and Google Drive add-on that allows teachers to provide students with more formats of feedback than the traditional Google comment tool. In a nutshell, Kaizena takes the basic Google comment, pairs it with TurnItIn.com's GradeMark tagging feature, and adds in the ability to record a voice comment. Not all of their feedback options seem to be working at the moment, specifically the ability to link a piece of feedback to an online resource. BUT, the feather in their hat - the voice comment feature - appears to be one of their strongest features, and it has worked perfectly for me.

If you are interested in trying it out but would like a little guidance, you may use this Kaizena: Steps for Getting Started instructional/tutorial document I made.

(Feedback Add-On Tip: If you are interested in leaving voice comments, I would highly recommend a program like Kaizena. However, if you are more interested in leaving detailed comments with links to online resources, I would recommend using a program like Diigo Clipboard, which you can read about here.)
