Description:

This is a generic learning design for a case based or scenario based learning activity. In the first phase, students work individually to learn the underlying principles and concepts using lectures, readings and scenarios presented to them in tutorials.

In phase 2, students work in multidisciplinary teams in a simulated professional environment to make decisions based on their understanding of the key principles and concepts and their experience of working in a multidisciplinary professional context.

Intended Learning Outcomes:

Apply theoretical principles in practical contexts
Demonstrate the capacity to problem solve and work effectively in a multidisciplinary environment
Demonstrate knowledge of the dynamics of working in a team
Demonstrate knowledge of decision-making in a multidisciplinary team
Apply teamwork and decision-making skills in a simulated professional environment
Assess your understanding of the key concepts and their application in professional contexts
