Communication practices can directly correlate to effective feedback, specifically in areas that require student input. By providing as much information and explanation as possible to students and parents, the stakeholders can feel well informed as to the expectations of the course. Teachers can also respond globally to direct questions that might apply to more than one student. For example, a student might ask in a discussion for clarification on directions for a project assignment. The teacher could respond back using a mass communication tool to make sure to clear up any confusion that any of the students may have about the directions.
Authentic feedback is important to assist students and to help them with specific problems. It is a way to provide positive reinforcement as well as to convey positive constructive criticism.
One of the advantages of online education is the ability to provide instruction to a group, but also with the feedback of an individual lesson. A teacher is able to offer suggestions and corrections without the student having to be corrected in front of his/her peers. This is specifically advantageous for students learning another language. In order for true learning to take place, one must remove the affective filter (break down the barriers to trying.) b
