Teaching and Learning Conference 2019: The implementation of a novel collaborative learning module to introduce Pathology to first year Biomedical Science undergraduates

This presentation aims to outline the processes involved in the implementation of a year-long 20-credit module based purely on an innovative collaborative learning initiative to develop undergraduate Biomedical Science students’ understanding of pathology. Heavily reliant on a design-based research methodology and a fading scaffold approach to student support the processes involved in designing and administering activities to promote student collaboration and independence will be discussed the outcomes of this four-year study reported and mechanisms to introduce this style of teaching and learning at other HEIs will be identified.
