“Being able to reflect on the sessions task and be able to discuss areas of improvement and areas of success really reaffirms a platform for further progression. I have responded well to this new introduction and believe that receiving instant feedback from my educators provides me with the guidance needed for improvement.” Knevel et al (2016), Achieving a 360-degree Feedback Framework using PebblePad in oral health and dentistry: a case study, ePortfolio Australia Forum 2017.
The "educational alliance": a collaborative framework that promotes a culture of transparency and progressive feedback encounters between all participants in the learning environment.

Importance of knowledge about how students perceive feedback and quality of the feedback: ‘Some clinical educators don’t give us feedback and are not constructive’.
