Video feedback that students actually use
Written feedback gets misunderstood. Video feedback gets absorbed. Give personalized, clear feedback in less time than typing detailed comments, and students will actually apply it.
Try example prompts
"I spent 20 minutes writing detailed feedback. The student didn't read past the first paragraph."
You care about student growth.
You provide detailed feedback on assignments.
You explain what's working, what needs improvement, and how to get better.
It takes time.
Lots of time.
Then you discover students barely read it.
They skim for the grade, glance at the first comment, and move on.
Your carefully crafted feedback goes largely unused.
The nuance you intended gets lost in text.
20+ min often spent writing detailed feedback per assignment
Misunderstood tone and intent frequently lost in written comments
Unused students skip past detailed written feedback
Frustrating for both educators and students when feedback fails
Every unread comment is guidance that never reached the student.
From "they didn't read it" to "they watched it twice"
Before ngram
- You grade an essay. It has potential but needs significant revision. You spend 15 minutes typing detailed comments explaining the issues and how to address them. You're thorough and constructive.
- The student receives the graded essay. They see the grade, skim the first comment, and file it away. They don't absorb the nuance. They don't understand the specific suggestions. Next assignment, they make the same mistakes because the feedback never landed.
- You feel like you're shouting into a void. Hours of feedback work, minimal impact. The cycle repeats.
After ngram
- Same essay. Same revision needs. But this time, you record a 2-minute video. You talk through the strengths, explain the issues, show exactly where changes are needed. Your tone is warm but direct. The student hears your intent clearly.
- They watch the whole video. They watch it again while revising. They hear your encouragement alongside your critique. The feedback lands because it's personal and clear. Next assignment shows marked improvement.
- Video feedback took less time to record than written feedback took to type. Impact increased. Effort decreased. Both you and the student win.

What changes when educator student feedback video take minutes
Faster than typing
You can say more in 60 seconds than you can type in 5 minutes. Video feedback is actually faster while being more thorough. Time saved per student adds up across a whole class.
Clear communication
Tone is hard to convey in text. Video shows your facial expressions, voice inflection, and genuine care. Constructive feedback sounds constructive. Encouragement sounds encouraging. No more misinterpretation.
Personal connection
Students connect with video differently than text. They see you as a person, not just a grade. Video feedback builds relationship. Relationship improves motivation. Motivation improves outcomes.
Feedback that gets used
Students watch video feedback. They often watch it multiple times. When feedback gets absorbed, it gets applied. Your guidance actually influences their work. Impact realized, not wasted.
