Feedback for relatedness and competence: Can feedback in blended learning contribute to optimal rigor, basic needs, and motivation?

We inquire how peer and tutor feedback influences students' optimal rigor, basic needs and motivation. We analyze questionnaires from two courses in two subsequent years. We conclude that feedback in blended learning can contribute to rigor and basic needs, but it is not clear from our data what triggers this relation. The data show that feedback does not influence motivation.
