To guarantee successful learning, it is not enough just to present information. Learners have to explore and to acquire learning content actively and autonomously. Consequently, feedback plays an important role in interactive dialogue between the computer and the learner, as it: provides an immediate response from the system; analyses and sometimes completes the learner's answers; stimulates a comparison between the response given by the learner and the expected response by the system; encourages the learner to reflect upon the learning content helps the learner to find the expected response

After having worked on this chapter, you will be able to determine the most favourable moment (the when) different functions (the why) the mode of presentation (the how) the most favourable position (the where) the content (the what) of ideal feedback, based on your own criteria.
