    Authentic interprofessional health education scenarios using mobile VR
    (Association for Learning Technology, 2018) Cochrane T; Stretton T; Aiello S; Britnell S; Cook S; Narayan V
    This paper explores the use of mobile virtual reality (mVR) to create authentic learning environments for health education, initially in three contexts, followed by the development of collaborative health team scenarios that mirror professional practice. The use of mVR mitigates the dispersion of the university’s seven health departments across three geographical campuses. We argue that the use of mVR provides an immersive and authentic student experience of real-world medical team scenarios. Building upon our experiences we critique the development of design principles for the integration of mVR within the curriculum and the establishment of a socio-cultural ethos of collaboration across the seven health disciplines at the institution. The unique contribution of our methodology is the focus upon a low-cost rapid user-generated development model explicitly founded upon design-based research, supported by a transdisciplinary team, modelling interprofessional practice.

    Sampling Searching for Science – how we shifted from face-to-face to online workshops for postgraduate students during Covid-19 lockdown
    Baxter K; Clarke U; Mu C; Cook S; Smith E; McKeagg S
    This session is for librarians with an interest in team teaching, flipped classroom methods, and active learning in online workshops. Science Librarians at Massey University New Zealand have run monthly Searching for Science workshops to support PhD and Masters students working on literature reviews since 2015. When Covid-19 lockdowns commenced in March 2020 our team rapidly transitioned into working from home and commenced delivering these monthly workshops online using Zoom and Adobe Connect. In keeping with the student-centred/active learning pedagogy of the face to face workshops, we decided to continue with and adapt these activities in the online environment. We will share our experiences in working with postgraduate students to achieve learning outcomes: • Networking & engaging activities to support a research community • Analysing a topic • Creating an advanced search strategy • Selecting and using tools Attendees will experience and evaluate active learning techniques for online workshops.
