I prefer written messages. On the other hand it´s fascinating to come to know someones voice! Like we did right now :) How to use voice messages in teaching? To design a homepage more personal, as you mentioned. Yes, good idea! Or to leave a message before going to holiday (without internet :)).

I prefer the written message to and from students. I like to have that recorded message for the sake of having a record I can refer to later if I need to.
On a similar topic….With respect to office hours, I do most of mine online using MSN and/or vRoom (Elluminate) and I’ve found it actually cuts down my hours – e.g. instead of a student coming to my office with a simple question and then staying to chat about trivia for 20 minutes, they send a quick question by MSN, I answer it, and they’re gone. I sometimes get 5-6 students in the library crowded around one student’s laptop and they’ll fire off a few questions for clarification and I avoid 5-6 appointments. It an answer requires something more visual for the explanation I send them to my vRoom and bring up slides or images. Rob T
