Delayed Feedback Logic: Display all feedback at the end instead of per question
Hold feedback until the end — so learners can think critically, stay focused, and review with purpose.
What It Is
Delayed Feedback Logic is a smart feature that stores learner responses during a quiz or scenario and delivers all feedback at the end, rather than after each individual question. This approach allows learners to stay immersed in the flow, complete their thought process, and then receive consolidated insights — including which answers were correct, what they missed, and how to improve.
Unlike traditional per-question feedback, this logic promotes reflection and reduces disruption in cognitively demanding tasks.
When to Use It
- In compliance or certification exams, where real-time feedback could encourage guesswork
- For summative assessments, where you want to simulate a test-like environment
- In scenario-based training, where learners should experience full decision paths before seeing outcomes
- For critical thinking exercises, to encourage learners to commit to answers before reflection
- In refresher quizzes, where confidence-checking matters more than immediate correction
Why It Works
- Promotes metacognition by encouraging learners to reflect on overall patterns, not just instant results
- Supports better test integrity by preventing trial-and-error behavior
- Improves focus and immersion by reducing interruptions between questions
- Enhances learning outcomes by helping learners process mistakes in context
- Drives efficiency by bundling all feedback into a single, meaningful review moment
Impact Insight
Imagine your employees working through a challenging decision-making scenario — thinking critically, staying in flow — and then getting a comprehensive breakdown of their performance. That’s how growth happens.
Examples in Action
- Healthcare: A full patient case study is completed before learners see where their diagnoses and treatment steps succeeded or failed
- Finance: Risk scenario questions are answered in sequence, then feedback is delivered in a results summary with tips
- Retail: A sales associate completes five customer service responses before reviewing how each answer stacked up
- Education: Teachers complete a classroom simulation and receive a printable report with strengths, missteps, and linked resources
- Manufacturing: Equipment safety drills are answered in full, then learners review explanations with a replay feature
