How can feedback become a more empowering part of nursing student placements?
In this session from PebblePad MiniBash Melbourne 2022, Dr Linda Jaffray (School of Nursing and Midwifery, University of Tasmania) explores how digital assessment and feedback can transform nursing clinical placements and support continuous quality improvement.
Dr Jaffray shares how the University of Tasmania transitioned from paper-based placement workbooks to a digital PebblePad assessment model, enabling:
- More timely, structured and meaningful feedback for nursing students
- Greater visibility of student progress during placements
- Insightful cohort-level reporting using Atlas analytics
- Evidence-led curriculum and quality improvement initiatives
The session highlights how analysing feedback data uncovered challenges around students’ ability to receive and respond to feedback — and how these insights have driven changes to teaching practice, assessment design, and professional development for placement facilitators.
