The COVID-19 situation accelerated the digital transformation in educational settings worldwide. Within a short time frame of several weeks, a full digital transformation took place. In the meantime, however, the trend of this rapid digital transformation seems to be going back to face-to-face teaching, and a rollback to traditional teaching methods can be observed. In this article, we aim to show that digital teaching approaches cannot only be included in online teaching but should also be considered after returning to face-to-face teaching. In particular, we focus on improving feedback in large-scale educational settings. We observe that providing and receiving appropriate feedback on learning and teaching activities is challenging independently of the specific teaching settings (in-class or online). This is particularly problematic because feedback is essential in learning processes. To address this, we combine the concepts of learning analytics and gamification to design a lecture game app that can be used (1) to motivate students to participate in formative assessments, (2) to collect learning-related data, and (3) to analyze this data to provide instant feedback. After integrating the lecture game in different settings, we conclude that digital tools can be useful independently of the specific learning setting
