Abstract: 
Universities nowadays are confronted with the challenge of offering
students sufficient formative feedback about their learning progress.
Undergraduates in particular struggle in this almost impersonal learning
situation, in contrast to their experience at school. Web-based
trainings often do not allow a comparable formative feedback from a
teacher, as current Learning Management Systems only offer basal
feedback mechanisms. The Learning Management System Analyzation Kit and
the Easy Snippet Feedback Edit are software tools that have been
developed to overcome this shortcoming. The intuitive design of the
software allows teachers to develop small feedback generating programs,
which use the educational data of EDM solutions, raw data of the LMS, or
just teachers’ individual records to compose individual formative
feedback messages for all students. Initial evaluations show that
students appreciate this new type of feedback, and that even
inexperienced users can easily operate the software.
