Blended Learning Strategies Template

I have to start out by putting this into a context (ever the OT!) : OUTCOME: Students will be able to use the Process of Learning about Disease and Disorder as a tool to enable them to have a systematic way to investigate about any condition/ disease they may encounter(right word?) while on placement. Part of the Disability, Function and Occupation course is to educate students about the Process of Learning about Disease and Disorder . Students are provided with a Template as a guide and throughout the course, use the template when looking at conditions- ie. The resources to use, what to look for, terminology. Along the way, students also learn about number of conditions. As we say, we cannot teach every condition the student might encounter while on placement or in practice, but if students have a way of finding out about the condition (the process) then students will become enquiry based learners instead of relying on the content of the condition they may have learnt about in class.

Overall Strategy 1. Provide learning opportunities for students to be able to practice, apply and consolidate the Process of learning about disease and disorder to clinical conditions

Strategy for Content 1. Liaise with practitioners to create case studies based on practice examples 2. Source videos/DVDs/clips on the signs and symptoms and application of conditions/ ? U tube/ support groups may have resources 3. Develop the process template with further explanations and guiding questions for students to use. Add as a template to moodle

Strategy for Activities 1. Students to watch video online before class 2. case study to be accessible before class for reading 3. Students work in groups to apply the case study to the template

Strategy for Communication

Strategy for Assessment 1. Students will use Ipads to create a video of themselves presenting the condition so by the end of the semester, each group will have presented a different condition and they can be accessed by whole class (CD rom) OR/ a PowerPoint presentation using the template as a guide. 2. Students will indv complete 4 templates on 4 conditions 3. review completed

1. Information and articles/ videos PPTs case studies will be available on moodle/ or a CD ROM that students can access a week prior to F2F session

2. Group discussion in class and also set up a Each group will present their moodle discussion board work to the class in a 3. Group presentationssession this will be lecturer to provide recorded and uploaded, live feedback. Students or as a powerpoint/ identify resource gaps document- so both and use enquiry based asynchronous and learning to find out synchronous information
