Feedback questions • 1 Has Moodle helped you revise and learn grammar? • 2 What have you been satisfied with so far? • 3 What could be improved?

Feedback answers • Q 1 – feedback generally positive, but some students still prefer “traditional” lessons • Q 2 – tasks useful as homework, good that the results are not taken into account for the final grade, conventional testing is preferred • Q 3 – complaints about too strict penalty factor
