IMPLEMENTING FEEDBACK BETWEEN THE RESOURCE AND THE STUDENT THROUGH INTERACTIVITY
Keywords:
interactive feedback, feedback loop, real-time assessment, peer review, metacognition, digital learning tools, educational equity, student engagement, scaffolded learningAbstract
This article examines the integration of interactivity into feedback mechanisms between educational resources and students, transforming traditional unidirectional models into dynamic, bidirectional dialogues. Core strategies explored include real-time automated feedback via digital platforms, structured peer review, scaffolded feedback loops that break assignments into iterative stages, and interactive reflection practices such as exam wrappers. These methods foster metacognitive awareness, error correction in real-time, and progressive skill mastery by closing the feedback loop. The study highlights how such approaches enhance student engagement, long-term retention compared to conventional lectures, reduction in academic stress through low-stakes practice, and greater equity for diverse learners via personalized guidance. Digital tools like polling platforms, collaborative spaces, interactive content creators, and AI-assisted feedback systems support scalable implementation. Drawing from institutional practices and research insights, the article positions interactive feedback as essential for cultivating self-regulated learners.
