Abstract
This study focused on students’ reactions to handwritten and typewritten electronic feedback. Students submitted work electronically as part of an online course for which Blackboard was the learning management system. The instructor used a TabletPC to provide handwritten feedback on student work and the review tool in MSWord to provide typewritten feedback. Results indicated students had more positive reactions to the handwritten feedback as opposed to the typewritten feedback.
