Abstract

The integration of technology into educational practices has gained widespread popularity and proven beneficial for both instructors and students. The constant emergence of digital tools has prompted researchers to examine their strengths and weaknesses, as well as how educators view their impact on teaching and learning. To address these objectives, the current study investigated the corrective feedback provided on paragraph writing assignments by 20 students, alongside gathering information from 16 writing instructors. Results revealed that while digital feedback is valuable, it is essential to complement it with manual corrections from instructors to enhance students' learning and writing skills acquisition process.
