Team Collaboration and Achievement in Teaching: Dr David West and UCL School of Pharmacy
The School won the award for its Integrated Therapeutics Project. This project is a novel approach to developing
student awareness of the interconnectedness of the diverse subjects
underpinning pharmacy. It is a distance learning project employing a unique
combination of wiki technology to develop topic pages and their interconnections
by the cohort, followed by individual concept mapping to generate a localised summary
that is presented for rapid visual assessment by a committee with combined
expertise in the range of underpinning subjects. The concept is scalable and the
principles are readily applicable to other disciplines that have a broad base
of supporting subjects where students tend to separate their learning into
compartments.
Whilst this project was conceived and led by Dr D West, e-learning coordinator and Dr A Wilderspin, MPharm course coordinator for Options and Projects, its success critically stems from the commitment of the entire team both during development and continued implementation.
