1. Feedback for online
and classroom
environments

2. Learning Outcome
Understand the difference between
Intrinsic and Extrinsic Feedback
and why Intrinsic Feedback
increases adult learner’s
motivation.

3. Challenge:
How do teachers, or
computers, normally
give feedback?

4. Extrinsic Feedback
That’s right.
That’s wrong.
Try again. Let’s
review. No, yes . . .

5. Intrinsic Feedback
What is it?

6. Intrinsic feedback
focuses on
consequences.

7. Teaching Circuit
Testing

8. Extrinsic Feedback?

9. Extrinsic Feedback?
Right.
Wrong. X

10. Intrinsic Feedback?
A picture of the
consequence of the
wrong (or right) answer.

11. Intrinsic Feedback?
“You selected the
wrong fuse for this
problem. It is likely
that the dash will
catch fire.”

12. Highly Motivating
Especially for adults
as it links course to
their career – and
personal goals.

13. Challenge:

14. Task: Drag the fruit
and put it directly
onto the platter or
dip it into the fruit
bath first.

18. Extrinsic Feedback?
X
No link to a consequence
in the real world.

19. Intrinsic Feedback?
Links course
content to a
consequence
in the
learner’s life.

20. A picture of an empty platter.
We’ll be
back!
Yes, all the apples
have been eaten. The
guests loved the food.

21. So, rather than this . . .
Correct
You get this . . .
+ the
consequence

22. Task
Look at the following examples.
Extrinsic Feedback is provided.
Can you suggest some additional
Intrinsic Feedback?

23. Possible
Intrinsic Feedback

24. Recap
Intrinsic feedback increases motivation
It is not often used in traditional classrooms
It can be incorporated into both eLearning and
classroom environments
Demand it as an element in course design
It can increase the effectiveness of your course

25. Thanks! I’m very interested in course
design and training in the Middle East.
