Auditory learners can struggle with text, I recorded my voice for these audio files - the idea is to get the students to download and use on their phones and MP3 players - MP3 files Sound cloud website, free MP3 storage up to 2 hours, Sound cloud example Word clouds look fantastic and are good for key word revision, lower end of Bloom's. A colleague of mine suggested that they can be used for analysis - put one of the students exam answers into the engine, hopefully the key words in the question will appear the largest!
