
Feedback is a major component in the Dick & Carey Model.
It is an extremely important part of the educational
experience when the medium of instruction does not
consist of real-time face-to-face human interaction. By
receiving and acting on feedback from formative and
summative evaluation (feedback) a system can fill the gap
between what is taught and what is learned. Feedback
helps the designer and learner to identify problems in the
learner arena. Feedback helps to examine the success of
the learner in achieving the goals and objectives.
Feedback allows for timely intervention when problems
occur, and it can also help with the formative evaluation of
a product.

A Twist on Feedback

As Instructional Designers, what
percentage of our lives is based on
feedback? Approximately 90% our our
daily activities include incorporating,
eliciting, or evaluating feedback. Since
this area is so important to the quality of
instruction, we should be very familiar
with the various approaches and types of
feedback in educational settings.
