This paper attempts to use a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods to measure 50 students who participated in the German self-directed learning platform, in order to analyze the impact of learning feedback on the engagement in this context. The results showed that it needs to be improved for the participation of students in the online self-directed learning platform, and more students who only follow with interest or meet the needs of evaluation. According to the feedback behaviours, as an essential factor for the in-depth development of online learning, the result feedback is more helpful to enhance the engagement of students in online learning; the motivation feedback through the entire online learning process is the driving factor for students to participate in online learning; optimizing learning feedback strategies and improving students’ self-regulation abilities are two main elements for constant online learning.
