ABSTRACT
The computer, in turn, can be programmed to react to each response with an individualized message. This message, called feedback, can be far more than a judgmental expression such as "Right" or "Wrong". The feedback can inform the student why the response is wrong and/or how to get the correct response. Response-contingent feedback is feedback that is designed to address specific student responses; in a sense, a student's response. After completing plans for response judging and feedback, leave the band of circles in the Ripple Plan to make these additions to the computer program. Production of the sample lesson on engineering calculations resumes at the second circle of the Ripple Plan, Responses and Feedback. The amount of feedback in part depends on the pace or flow of instruction reader wish to achieve, the response mode, and the role of the question at the point in the instruction.
