Abstract

This qualitative study focuses on the following research question: How can a training assessment approach create new ways of providing feedback to students for online courses? 32 teachers from a private institution that offers on line programs via the Internet participated in this study. A training course was designed to teach a feedback model that promoted training assessment. The results show that one can improve teacher feedback by providing the following information to the student, which is based on answering the following questions: What am I trying to achieve in my studies? What is the objective or the goal? How am I trying to achieve this goal? How do I connect this activity with the following? The overall reaction of the participants was positive. They demonstrated a certain level of motivation when incorporating the elements of the student feedback model.
