Abstract: Automated feedback systems have been associated with significant improvements in the outcomes for learners in higher education. The advantages for learners are well reported, but surprisingly few articles have investigated the advantages of automated feedback for instructors. This article reviews the use of feedback and automated feedback systems in higher education to assist instructors to self-assess and to privately identify potential improvements to their instructional practices. This article first describes how feedback is currently provided in higher education settings and then discusses requirements, technology, and innovations needed to create automated feedback systems for instructors. The proposed automated feedback system aims to assist university instructors by providing suggestions and feedback that could help to self-examine their work privately and immediately.
