Frameworks and Technology for Triangulation of Feedback to Support Learning

Abstract

Nurse educators and students are partners in co-creation of a classroom culture of assessment for learning rather than assessment of learning. Three essential sources of feedback-instructor feedback, peer feedback, and self-reflection-contribute to development of metacognitive skills necessary for nursing practice. Triangulation of feedback from multiple sources develops skills in peer evaluation, professional accountability, emotional regulation, and lifelong learning. Feedback processes are supported by creative use of learning technologies such as learning management systems, survey tools, videography using institutional equipment or students' personal devices, social annotation strategies and applications, and audience response systems.
