Feedback is also rarely consulted according to manyteachers and only the grade matters for the student [1-3]. Studies indicate that the use ofInformation and Communication Technologies (ICT) would make it possible to respond to certainlimitations of traditional feedback. For example, ICT would make it possible to give morefeedback, facilitate learner ownership [1] and promote their academic performance [4]. AmongICTs
