If you are interested in enriching students’ learning after their work experience or practicum, this webinar will be of interest to you. Drawing on early work and some survey findings from the OLT funded project: Augmenting Students’ Post Practicum Experiences, this webinar will make a case for engaging students in post practicum activities to support the integration of those experiences and extend them for their educational purposes. That case is made by brief presentations that:
- outline the potential of post practicum experiences and how they might be augmented, in introducing the funded project;
- some findings from a survey of what purposes students want to achieve through such augmentations and their preference for how post practicum interventions might progress;
- provide an example of reflection post practicum for midwifery students; and
- a healthcare student workshop to support learner centred feedback processes within a large tertiary teaching hospital.
Whilst these two projects are still very much in progress, some elements of their processes may be of interest to ACEN members.
