PDF of Presentation

-This project received an award;

-The idea of collaboration is about sharing, knowledge building, and interactions, of coming to consensus and about respect among different roles;

-Different persons come with different levels of knowledge, different point of views, and from different backgrounds, and they need to work together toward the common goal;

-Activity theory – (‘knot working”) – a worldview that each person brings to the table sometimes produce tensions; tensions force us to reconsider our points of view;

-Learning occurs when this tension exists and reconsideration takes place;

-In order to enable collaborative learning, we need to create a knot – some problem that will create tension; the ‘knot’ is always very deliberately designed;

-Collaborative learning involves: participants (it can be a homogeneous group or not); a knot (a central issue), environment where learning will take place; structure;

-The ‘Total pain project’ was designed for medical students; in medicine – it is important that different professionals collaborate;

-How do we present a patient? It was decided to use a narrative from the patient’s perspective; this patient (Neil) has multiple problems, he is also politically hot patient (gay patient who is suffering from cancer);

-A tool that was built has different modules and is written in Java; students can visit Neil; they can have synchronous discussion, there is an electronic medical record, resources and progress notes (similar to wiki; different people can add new information);

-At the end – students need to produce a comprehensive case plan – this is done synchronously in the last session, which is face-to-face and it is 3 hours long;

-Knot in this exercise is Neil, the patient

-Students cannot go through all places in a time limit; they need to prioritize but also to understand how their different roles (a doctor, a nurse, a social worker) intersect;
