Providing feedback with learning tools, and maintaining connections with students, are more important than ever. Feedback opportunities in online learning involve providing information to students on an individual level; others involve providing group level information with opportunities for individual dialogue or self-reflection.

Surrey Assessment and Learning Lab

The Surrey Assessment and Learning Lab conducts research into how people learn, how best to assess the products and process of learning, and how feedback can lead to long-term learning gain. This guide from the Surrey Lab: Feedback opportunities in online learning gives tips on feedback opportunities to students on an individual level as well as providing group level information with opportunities for individual dialogue or self-reflection. Each form of feedback has its own benefits, and ways of maximising its utility.
