Students' Perceptions of Feedback in Distance Education

Over the previous few years the never-ending duties have constituted it difficult for potential postgraduate students to enroll in Master''s programs where regular attendance is compulsory. Consequently the need for more flexible studies has paved the way for the growth of Distance Education. In such academic contexts written feedback on assignments is the medium through which tutors enlighten students on their performance. However feedback is not always effective as its proper interpretation becomes more of a challenge for the students. This book therefore provides a deep research on what students believe about feedback matters outlining their preferences on desirable features in its form as well. The analysis should help academics customize feedback better according to their students'' needs and improve its quality and effectiveness.
