I followed the posts on grading application exercises with avid interest, as I am attempting to gorge myself on every bit of information and tips on TBL that I can. Over this past winter term I team-taught an interprofessional communications course – a unique initiative in which an interprofessional educator team representing a university (me) and a community college (one educator from Nuclear Medicine and one educator from Respiratory Therapy) planned, facilitated and assessed the interprofessional learning experience. Part of the uniqueness was that none of us had ever team-taught before. The major factor by far was that we set about challenging a traditional teaching/learning paradigm, by adopting the principles and practices of Team-Based Learning – we never looked back! The course focussed on four domains that are central to interprofessional patient-centred collaborative practice, i.e. interprofessional communication, team functioning, interprofessional conflict and self-awareness and reflective practices. We chose to add a fifth domain, information literacy, as we included Wiki technology for the team based capstone project (the application component). We used rubrics for the peer and team feedback components as well as for the major application project. Here is how our assessment component was broken down- the individual assessment points allocated were 59 and the team assessment points allocated were 41: Assessment 1: Readiness Assurance Process (a) individual tests - 7 in total, (b) team tests – 7 in total 38.5% (2.5% each for individual tests; (3% each for team tests Assessment 2: Peer and Team Feedback (formative and summative) – Individual Grades 11.5% (5% for formative; 6.5% for summative Assessment 3: Case Study Caper (a.k.a. interprofessional collaboration for patient-centered care) 50% (individual 30%; team 20%) We learned many lessons from our first foray into TBL, are eager to see the next iteration of the course. As an educator of fairly long standing it was the most learner-centred/learning-centred classroom environment (including the wiki environment) that I have had the privilege of being a part of.
