[The student experience](https://www.gonurture.com/signal/faq.md#student-experience)

In an Engage session, yes. On a student’s comment, question or check-in response, choose Reply privately. Only that student sees your reply, and it stays with the session, so they can read it when they reopen it later.

You can’t yet reply to an individual answer in a Live Quiz or Assessment. There, use the explanation on each question, and on Premium, personalised AI feedback, to give students feedback on their answers.
