Abstract Bidirectional Feedback may benefit students by facilitating learning success and goal achievement can help teachers address students’ needs and/or assess improve material. Current feedback practices have limitations, such as the difficulty for to formulate understandable teachers, effort required engage in dialogue, challenge manage multiple responses across a wide range of Thus, there is need computational support digital environment that facilitates bidirectional creation, processing, dialogue. To this end, we present process model feedback, conceptual design assist process, its implementation self-assessment task type Moodle. It was implemented evaluated distance course B.Sc. Computer Science program. With use computer-assisted an increase from more observed related tasks. included not only negative but also positive feedback. Teachers confirmed usefulness well understandability student-generated messages, both helping assessing improving quality assignments.
