What is instant feedback?
Instant feedback removes the need for students to wait for a teacher to mark work and provide feedback, so learning can continue straight away. Instead of waiting days (or longer) to understand where they went wrong students can:
Get immediate clarity on whether their answer is correct
Understand mistakes without relying on teacher availability
Learn and improve in the moment, while the question is still fresh
Make faster progress without delays caused by marking backlogs
This is especially helpful during busy periods like exam season when teachers are marking large volumes of work and feedback may take longer to return.
By providing feedback instantly, Seneca ensures students always have access to clear and consistent explanations helping them revise independently, stay motivated and keep moving forward without interruption.
How instant feedback helps students

Reinforcing correct understanding immediately
Helping students correct misconceptions straight away
Improving knowledge retention through active recall
Building confidence with exam style questions
Supporting exam technique and accuracy
Research shows that immediate feedback can significantly improve learning outcomes especially during revision.
