This study focused on formative use of peer feedback in an online system that was used in basic computer literacy for word processing assignment-related purposes. Specifically, the effect of quantity, modality and satisfaction of peer feedback provided through the online system on students' performance, self-efficacy, and technology acceptance was investigated. Participants were 32 freshmen elementary and Turkish education pre-service teachers who were enrolled in two sections of the mandatory Computer I course in a public university in Turkey in the fall semester of 2013. Groups of students who submitted their assignments and received feedback in varying quantity and two different forms (text or text and video together) did not differ respectively in terms of students' performance test scores as well as self-efficacy and technology acceptance ratings. Students' feedback satisfaction ratings were significantly correlated only with their technology acceptance scores. All results were interpreted with the support of peer feedback content in both text and video formats to clarify the details and contribute more to the literature.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of an online automated evaluation and feedback system that assessed students' word processing assignments prepared with Microsoft Office Word. The participants of the study were 119 undergraduate teacher education students, 86 of whom were female and 32 were male, enrolled in different sections of Computer-I course taught at one of the major public universities in Istanbul, Turkey. A total of 52 and 67 participants were assigned to the control and experimental group, respectively. No statistically significant difference was found between the experimental and control group students' post-tests performance, selfefficacy perception and technology acceptance scores after the implementation in which the experimental group students used the online automated evaluation and feedback system to get feedback on their assignments, and the control group students didn't receive any feedback. However, the interview results showed that the experimental group students had positive experiences with the system such as contributions to their learning performance, high perceptions, easy use of the system and saving time for the assignments.
