Feedback is not a final step in learning—it’s the foundation of meaningful interaction. Through the BEM Framework (Behavior, Experience, Meaning), feedback is shown to be essential in shaping behavior, transforming experience, and creating purpose.

Effective feedback is timely, emotionally resonant, and bidirectional, guiding learners rather than judging them.
