Methods A multidisciplinary, in situ medium fidelity simulation training program was developed and delivered by an interdisciplinary faculty. Clinical scenarios, airway emergencies for this phase of the program, were chosen to reflect both national guidelines [1-3] and learning identified through departmental clinical governance investigations. 200 resident clinicians were invited to participat...

We have developed a cooperative-learning, case studies project model that has teams of students working with biotechnology professionals on company-specific problems. These semester-long, team-based projects can be used effectively to provide students with valuable skills in an industry environment and experience addressing real issues faced by biotechnology companies. Using peer-evaluations, w...

We present an account of an undergraduate team based assignment designed to facilitate, exhibit and record team working skills in an e-mediated environment. By linking the student feedback received to Hofstede’s classic model of cultural dimensions we aim to show the assignment’s suitability in revealing the student's multi-cultural context. In addition to anecdotal evidence we also present a q...

Collaborative working environments for distance education can be considered as a more generic form of contemporary remote labs. At present, the majority of existing real laboratories are not constructed to allow the involved participants to collaborate in real time. To make this revolutionary learning environment possible we must allow the different users to carry out an experiment simultaneous...

In the 21 Century team working increasingly requires online cooperative skills as well as more traditional skills associated with face to face team working. Virtual team working differs from face to face team working in a number of respects, such as interpreting the alternatives to visual cues, adapting to synchronous communication, developing trust and cohesion and cultural interpretations. Ho...

This workshop investigates excerpts from the logs of a virtual math team as it engages in dynamic-geometry exploration during eight hour-long sessions in a chat room with a multi-user version of GeoGebra. It describes the display of mathematical reasoning by the team of three eighth-grade students discussing the geometric dependencies of several figures. It follows the meaning-making process of...
