Role of feedback in uniform learning situation

• In this paper, we explorefeedbackin a Digital Learning Environment (DLE), based on a study performed in a Swedish military training context. DLEs makeuniformlearning possible, while allowing interaction (as opposed to a text book). However, it is unclear how interaction should be designed to be beneficial in auniformlearning situation.Feedbackis needed in DLE, both for the learning itself, and for the functionality of the system. Through an evaluation framework theuniformlearning situation is evaluated andfeedbackis mapped onto interaction lanes. Balancedfeedbackhas the potential to offer a beneficial DLE foruniformlearning. Although the importance offeedbackis known in theory, our study shows that practical implementations lack completefeedback. Hence, we propose a design guideline to implement balanced (relative to the framework)feedbackin general, and to pay specific attention to Feed-Forward when designing DLEs. © 2011 ACM.
