Concept
Feedback
Feedback is information that helps learners adjust performance and regulation. Digital tools can personalize it; live channels can deliver it just in time; without it, engagement and SRL stall.
Feedback is one of the highest-leverage instructional moves. These studies show adaptive digital feedback and chat-based help as concrete delivery mechanisms.

What the evidence shows
Drawn from 3 studies in this library. Each claim links to the studies behind it.
