I really never thought of feedback to be an important component of active learning, but it really makes sense. Feedback allows students to reflect on whether their thinking is correct or incorrect.
It is also important that the students understand that they will need to “do the work” in order to learn the material. Often, we have online students who complain that they are teaching themselves the material. Yes, but we are providing the resources and activities to help you. That's what makes online learning work!
