> Send a written comment or a voice note on any answer, draw on a student’s drawing to circle a mistake, and the student sees it straight away.

Feedback in LearnWorkly is attached to one answer, so the student sees exactly which question it is about. You can write, record your voice or, on drawing questions, draw on the student’s work. Students see it right away, during the lesson or later at home.

## Send feedback

1. **Open the answer** On the live view, click the student’s card or their cell in the **Gradebook**. The answer panel opens on the side.
2. **Write a comment** Type in the box at the bottom, or click one of the quick replies such as **Great work! 👏** or **Can you explain how you got this?**, then press **Send** (or Enter).
3. **Or record a voice note** Press the microphone button (**Voice feedback**) and record up to two minutes. The recording is sent when you finish.

## Draw on a student’s drawing

On **Drawing** questions, the student’s work appears on a canvas with red, blue and green pens. Circle a mistake, underline a step or write a correction, then press **Send**. You can send the drawing on its own or together with a comment. The student sees your marks on top of their own work.

## Feedback while they work

> **Feedback while they work:** You do not have to wait for students to submit. Send a nudge such as **Almost there, take another look** while they are still working, and they can fix the answer before they hand it in.

## Where students see your feedback

- Under the question, in a **Teacher feedback** box, as soon as you send it.
- Voice notes play right there; drawings show over their work.
- Feedback on earlier attempts stays visible, labelled with the attempt number.
- If you saved the student’s email address with their permission and **Email students** is on, they also get an email. At most one per assignment per day.

## Frequently asked questions

**Can I draw on a photo of handwritten work?**
No, drawing is available on **Drawing** questions. For photos and other answers, send a comment or a voice note.

**Can I give feedback after the assignment is closed?**
Yes. Students can no longer change their work, but they can still read your feedback.

**Does feedback change the score?**
No. Feedback and scores are separate. Give the score in the same panel, above the conversation.
