Feedback

Definition of Feedback
DefinitionThe process of providing a structured response, with information about work in terms of strengths and aspects for improvement. Feedback can be written or oral. However, the aim is to bridge the gap between present performance and desired goal, and is instrumental in moving towards next steps in learning. Feedback will only be effective in moving learning forward if it provides constructive advice and learners are allowed the opportunity to read it and act on it.
