A range of innovative models of collaborative teaching and learning will be explored and some areas of common learning (common content and/or learning outcomes) highlighted. Those most relevant to the Faculty will be identified and guidelines on how to implement good practice models will be prepared and workshopped with staff in all Schools.
The project's steering committee, the Faculty Teaching & Learning Committee, appointed Glenyse Frost, in November 2007, to manage the project and approved the Project Plan in January 2008. Glenyse is located in the School of Nursing and Midwifery on Newnham Campus, Launceston and has been invited to discuss the project at staff meetings in all Schools during February or March.
A working group, comprising a representative from each School, has been established to liaise with Glenyse on the project.
The Working Group is:

Members of staff in the Faculty of Health Science are invited to read and comment on the project’s implementation paper.
This paper recommends processes for moving forward with the collaborative initiatives recommended in Discussion Paper 2. Proposed implementation strategies include:
- initially, targeting only those initiatives assessed as ‘most likely to succeed’,
- developing and supporting teams of committed and interested advocates,
- establishing an appropriate governance structure to ensure sustainability, manage risk and co-ordinate current & future initiatives; and
- identifying sources of funding for the period 2008-2010.

Discussion Paper 2 for Comment |
|
|
Members of staff in the Faculty of Health Science are invited to read and comment on Discussion Paper 2.
Discussion Paper 2 aims to identify opportunities to expand and enhance collaboration within the Faculty by aligning ‘areas of common learning’ with the preferred approaches to collaborative teaching and learning identified in Discussion Paper 1. It recommends pilots for 2009 in the areas of:
- Safety & Quality – ‘Common resources’ will be developed to support teaching and learning in the classroom, on-line and in simulation centres for a range of topics outlined in the National Patient Safety Education Framework.
- IPE in Simulation Centres (Management of Chronic Illnesses) – Students from 2 or more Schools will learn with, from and about each other using in-depth scenarios developed collaboratively by participating Schools in clinical areas such as chronic disease.
- Law & Ethics – Students from, at least, 2 Schools (Medicine & Pharmacy) will engage in ‘shared or multi-professional learning’ using a range of flexible delivery modes including face-to-face teaching, web supported modules, video scenarios and cross disciplinary workshops & forums.
Other recommendations relate to a register of staff interested in ‘teaching into’ programs in other Schools, the promotion of ‘common resources’ in rural & E-health and ongoing support for existing workplace-based IPE.
These recommendations are preceded by a review of the opportunities for and barriers to collaboration within the Faculty.
