Description
Avita Rath studies a digital pinboard tool in dental training in a study published in 2024. Dental schools now use group learning widely, but digital tools for feedback practice remain rare. Rath tested Padlet, a board where students post notes, during a graded practice task.
Thirty-nine third-year dental students in Malaysia took part in a week-long peer feedback task on gum care. Posts and student reflections were read for themes. The board's no-name, any-time format led to deeper talks and wider input. Students said they felt more sure, more engaged, and closer as a group. The task also matched known good feedback rules, such as clear goals and time to reflect.
