What kind of feedback do you associate with authoring software such as eXe? Write a short paragraph summarising your thinking in this space. Ensure there is space between the paragraphs.

This is the first time I have encounterd this software. From the demonstration we have completed I think the software seems to be **immediate** feedback - a response can be given to each answer once they have been submitted. Although the final task (cloze) did not work on my computer it seems that **delayed** feedback can also be given - the number of questions correct and possibly feedback on why the possible answers were correct or not. Obviously **direct** feedback is given on wether the answer chosen is correct or not.

I think it may also be possible to give **indirect** feedback through the hints tabs. It may also be given along with the direct feedback if certain types of questions are asked. If the choice of correct answer may be inferred or found through a text - the respondants may be given reasons why an answer is correct in relation to the text and what clues to look for in future. If the answers are solely based on existing knowledge this would not be the case.

I think that the other forms of feedback are possible through links to external sites such as wallwisher page.The teacher or a peer may be able to provide feedback on this task either personally or in a written format. It does not seem that this could be done directly through the eXe software.
