Abstract

This chapter discusses the effective use of feedback in online learning. Feedback is an essential component of learning. Faculty and instructors spend hours providing feedback, which is often not used to maximum benefit by the learners. Feedback, related assessment, evaluation and grades, is the comments provided to learners on their work. Guidelines for providing quality feedback are discussed. Types of feedback suitable for a range of contexts are presented. Techniques and technologies that enable detailed feedback to be delivered quickly to learners are discussed. With a little practice, using the methods discussed can reduce the amount of time spent on providing feedback, reduce learner wait time and increase the learner use of the feedback, all desirable outcomes.
