Learning Resources
Required Resources
No required resources.Recommended Resources
You are not required to purchase any resources for this course.
Required and recommended resources will be made available electronically.Online Learning
This course will use Canvas and specialist Bline online simulation software as a major component. All lecture notes, tutorial activities and lecture recordings will be posted on Canvas. Announcements and weekly student update emails will be sent via the site. The wikis at the end of each module will be administered online via wikispaces. Finally, a canvas discussion board to encourage communication with both instructors and other students will be established. Bline software will be used to make student's simulation and skills videos available via an individual eportfolio. This will allow students the opportunity to review and reflect on their skills training. -
Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
The course is divided into four, 3 week modules:
1. Introduction to health care
2. Aboriginal Health
3. Aged Care and it’s challenges
4. Consolidation and revision
The cohort is divided into three streams:
A. Clinical Skills and Simulation (CLN)
B. Small Group Work and Presentation (SGD)
C. Lecture and Laboratory Work (LAB)
One week of each module will be spent in each stream. A detailed presenation of the learning modes will be provided by the course coordinator in the first lecture.Workload
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.
This is a 3-unit course, with an expected workload of ~12 h/week. This includes 68 h of face-to-face teaching contact across the semester (lectures, simulation-based tutorials, patient contact tutorials, and clinical tutorials) and 8 hours on-line learning exercises, preparation for assessment tasks, preparation for tutorials and weekly reading.Learning Activities Summary
A detailed timetable, including module structure and content, will be provided on MyUni.Specific Course Requirements
Some simulation and patient contact hours may require out of hours time.Small Group Discovery Experience
This course revolves around the use of SGDE. All students will attend lectures providing a scientific basis for the course. The students will then be split into groups 8-10, who will work in groups to develop their clinical skills and approach to patients. There will be 5 clinicians supervising the activities. The activities will be further supported by the use of standardised patients.
The next stages of SGDE will involve the students exploring the health effects with real patients within each module. The students will discuss and analyse the health problems and how they affect the day to day living of the patients. Continuing the format of the SGDE, advanced simulation techniques will be used to allow students to experience the health problems personally and gain understanding from a personal point on how health burdens relevant to each module affect daily living. The students will then have the opportunity to practice their clinical skills in scenarios and debrief their actions in small groups of 10 or less. The students will explore solutions to the health challenges in these small groups and formulate ideas for a future approach to benefit these patient groups. -
Assessment
The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:
- Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
- Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.

Student Feedback
The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.
SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.
This was a new course in 2017. We hope that modifications made as a result of student feedback have enhanced the course for 2018 and look forward to receiving further feedback which will help us to continue to build a course which meets the needs of those aspiring to be Australia's future health professionals. -

Fraud Awareness
Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
