TRANSCRIPT
Feedback for online and classroom environments
Learning Outcome
Understand the difference between Intrinsic and Extrinsic Feedback
and why Intrinsic Feedback increases adult learner’s
motivation.
Challenge: How do teachers, or computers, normally
give feedback?
Extrinsic Feedback
That’s right.
That’s wrong.
Try again. Let’s review. No, yes . . .
Intrinsic Feedback
What is it?
Intrinsic feedback focuses on
consequences.
Teaching Circuit Testing
Extrinsic Feedback?
Extrinsic Feedback?
Right.
Wrong. X
Intrinsic Feedback?
A picture of the consequence of the wrong (or right) answer.
Intrinsic Feedback?
“You selected the wrong fuse for this problem. It is likely that the dash will catch fire.”
Highly Motivating
Especially for adults as it links course to their career – and personal goals.
Challenge:
You need to
serve out a
platter of
fruit for
guests.
Which fruit
needs to be
dipped in a
lemon juice
fruit bath
before being
served?
Task: Drag the fruit and put it directly onto the platter or dip it into the fruit
bath first.

Extrinsic Feedback?
XNo link to a consequence
in the real world.
Intrinsic Feedback?
Links course content to a
consequence in the
learner’s life.
A picture of an empty platter.
Yes, all the apples have been eaten. The guests loved the food.
We’ll be back!
Correct
So, rather than this . . .
You get this . . . + the
consequence
Task
Look at the following examples. Extrinsic Feedback is provided. Can you suggest some additional Intrinsic Feedback?
Possible Intrinsic Feedback
RecapIntrinsic 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
