Summary

This article describes and provides examples of Collaborative Learning Experiences.

What is

an

a Collaborative Learning Experience?

Independent Collaborative Learning Experiences allow ANZCAP members to autonomously record, self evaluate and self-reflect engage with professional peers in collaborative evaluation and reflection on a variety of significant professional experiences.

Compared to other categories of learning experiences Independent Learning Experiences do not require collaboration with peers for feedback or for the professional experience to be peer reviewed.

Independent This type of Learning Experience requires the direct involvement of a collaborator. The collaborator will have directly observed significant proportion of the professional experience included in the learning experience to ensure that they are able to engage in the evaluation and feedback discussions. If direct observation is not possible then the collaborator should have engaged in the regular debrief sessions throughout the professional experience.

A collaborator should ensure that they have sufficient experience with the particular professional activity or scenario being included in the learning experience and/or experience within the chosen area of practice. The collaborator can be from a range of multidisciplinary qualifications (pharmacy, medical, nursing).

Collaborative Learning Experiences can contribute towards recognition of professional practice in a variety of ways by inclusion in both recognition portfolios and custom portfolios.

  • Directly observe significant proportion of the professional experience.

  • Reflect on the experience by identifying strengths, Identifying strengths & areas for development &

  • Support creation of development goals

  • Upload evidence to support the Independent Collaborative Learning Experience (optional)

Each type of Independent Collaborative Learning Experience has it’s own digital tool on the AZCAP platform that will automatically guide ANZCAP members through each step of the process. Alternatively pharmacists may use a comparative workplace based assessment tool from their own workplace or organisation and upload it to the ANZCAP digital platform where they can then confirm completion of an Independent a Collaborative Learning Experience.
