Feedback

Feedback controls what the learner sees after submitting an answer. It can include visual indicators, such as colours and optional text explaining the result.

How feedback works​

After a learner submits an answer:

  • Correct answers are highlighted in green
  • Incorrect answers are highlighted in red This visual feedback is shown by default.
    Additional feedback text can be shown depending on your settings.

Feedback text​

You can define text feedback for:

  • Correct answers
  • Incorrect answers

This text is shown based on the selected display settings. The Feedback text can be edited through the text editor in the properties menu.

Display options​

Choose when feedback text is shown:

  • Always Feedback text is shown after every submission.
  • Only if correct Feedback text is shown only when the learner answers correctly.
  • Only if wrong Feedback text is shown only when the learner answers incorrectly.
  • Never No feedback text is shown.
    The default setting for text feedback is Never.

Visual feedback​

Visual feedback is shown after submission and can be used separate from text feedback. The default display colours for exercises are:

  • Correct answers are marked in green
  • Incorrect answers are marked in red

This helps the learner understand the result immediately.

Feedback response​

By default, all feedback options are enabled when you create a new exercise. Feedback colours control how answers are visually marked after submission. These settings work independently of feedback text.
