This is still highly experimental but everyone I’ve shown has been really excited so I figured I’d do a quick video. Using a few modules and HTML5 in-browser audio recording you can click a button and save your voice to your drupal site as s file field. This can bring new life to commenting on private forum where that might be valuable or in our context, allowing instructors to give audio feedback to students about their work in ways text alone can’t describe.  This is especially true in the arts where it’s not always how you describe someone’s work but the inflection and tone used while describing someone’s work that speaks volumes (insert silly pun here).
