Like our other topics, feedback is a critical part of an overall communications strategy to engage and support students through their learning path in the course. The value of meaningful feedback given in enough time for a student to reflect on and apply it exists across all modalities of teaching. In online courses, however, feedback is often mediated through technology, which requires consideration of different techniques.
