Discover how the University of Tasmania replaced its paper-based learning and assessment processes on Bachelor of Nursing placements using PebblePad’s powerful capabilities.
In this case study featured at PebbleBash 2024, Dr Linda Jeffrey and John Cooper from the university’s College of Health and Medicine reveal how they overcame the limitations of the School of Nursing’s previous paper-based approach by adopting a digital-first strategy. Leveraging PebblePad has enabled programme educators to:
- Use the platform’s data reporting functionality to proactively generate timely and actionable insights into the student learning journey.
- Co-create new ‘value-adding’ PebblePad templates/resources including digital activities to cultivate patient assessment skills, clinical reasoning and more.
- Access powerful placement assessment tools and resources as well as use real-time monitoring and responses to manage student progression issues at scale.
- Reduce the inefficiency and mitigation of paper-based lost/missing workbooks as well as gain the ability to verify assessor content and signatures.
- Get a view on healthcare contexts and nursing expectations while reflecting on how well students are being prepared for placement and practice.
Importantly, the use of PebblePad has brought people together across traditionally siloed discipline, team and organisational boundaries and created the opportunity to reflect on the programme’s curriculum – as well as identify opportunities for quality improvement.
