Use your LMS to Give Learners Meaningful Feedback
Feedback in education is multifaceted, involving various strategies and styles. According to Bartol & Martin, "Feedback is the receiver’s basic response to the interpreted message." Feedback is the learner's initial attempt to act on what has been understood. And it’s important to get feedback right, first time.
Meaningful feedback should be motivational, personal, and actionable, as opposed to being discouraging, general, and unspecific.

Challenges in E-Learning Environments
Delivering feedback in e-Learning settings presents unique challenges compared to traditional classroom environments.
Classroom vs. E-Learning: Feedback in classrooms is often direct and verbal, with real-time communication. In contrast, e-Learning typically involves more indirect and written feedback, with passive correspondence.
Using an LMS for Feedback: An LMS can bridge these gaps by allowing for personalized, motivational feedback that is both timely and frequent, but more often than not, delivering feedback using an LMS, is complicated, time-consuming and much feedback goes undelivered, or unread.
