Discover how utilising PebblePad created a new collaborative and coherent approach to co-teaching across two HEIs at the University of East Anglia (UEA) by introducing a single, equitable and user-friendly teaching resource that benefited both learners and instructors.
In this use case featured at PebbleBash 2024, Course Director for Independent Prescribing at UEA’s Faculty of Medicine & Health Services, Dr Louise Grisedale, reveals how she and her colleagues leveraged a PebblePad-based solution to:
- Address the limitations of virtual learning environments that traditionally struggle to provide seamless collaboration and sharing between institutes.
- Remove the logistical challenges, administrative burden and maintenance issues of transferring and synchronising content across environments.
- Enable educators to build and distribute resources that scaffold student activity, while offering learners a digital space to collect and reflect on their learning.
- Offer preset formatting options, enabling educators to enhance the readability and structure of content as well as offer more intuitive navigation for learners.
- Minimise the risk of cognitive overload by providing learners with a single integrated digital platform for both teaching content and eportfolio creation.
Crucially, the use case reveals how the struggles of inter-institutional co-teaching can be overcome with a unique approach that delivers exceptional outcomes – and how the solution is now transforming the university’s entire intake approach.
