Assessment 1 – Self and Peer Teamwork Assessment (5%)
A pre/post self-assessment of collaborative and teamwork abilities will help the learner to reflect on their own skills and changes over the duration of the course. Assessment of team members at the end of the course using the same criteria will allow the leaner to practice peer-assessment and feedback in safe circumstances. Guidelines and feedback protocols will guide the leaner in an appreciative inquiry process to enable a constructive learning experience for all members.
Assessment 2 – Professional Reflections (15%)
Learners will further build on skills in self-reflection gained in IDIS 280 to support their learning and interprofessional skill development throughout the course. At the beginning of the course, learners will utilize a set of guiding questions to critically self-assess their proficiency in, and past experience(s) with, collaborative teamwork and identify areas requiring further development as they complete the course. Midway through the course, the professional reflection lens will aid students in critically evaluating course content and how it will build towards their final systems level critical analysis report, Assessment 4 in this course.
Assessment 3 – Case Exemplar Discussions (15%)
Through online modules, students will be introduced to case exemplars related to the concepts they will be learning and prompted to critically examine aspects of the exemplars as they relate to interprofessional practice. Students must actively contribute constructive and scholarly analysis of these exemplars within small online discussion group teams throughout the semester in order to build on and extend knowledge gained from the online modules. More specifically, this assessment will evaluate the quality of student scholarly contributions to discussions stemming from module content as well as their professional conduct within these teams.
Assessment 4 – Midterm - Local-Level Critical Analysis Report (25%)
Learners will choose from a list, or select an exemplar of successful or poor teamwork conducted at a local level and critically analyze the exemplar through the lens of interprofessional competencies and other themes explored in the first half of the course. Leaners will develop their critical analysis in steps by developing a rationale and brief literature review for their selected topic and will engage in the peer review process before submitting their finalized report.
Assessment 5 – Final - Systems-Level Critical Analysis Report (40%)
Building from the skills and knowledge gained from their Midterm Local-Level Critical Analysis Report, learners will evaluate a different teamwork exemplar from the previous assignment, this time from the perspective of the systems level. Similarly, students will produce a rationale statement and brief literature review in preparation for their report, followed by peer review to lead to a finalized report. Learners will then collaborate with a peer to identify a common stakeholder from both of their systems analysis reports to create a short presentation on lessons learned from the two exemplars. These teams will share their presentations with the class as additional application-based content for consideration and discussion with their peers.
There is no final exam for this course.
