When physiotherapy teachers meet technical specialist
RENE team members have worked with theoretical part contents for months, and now the project has reached the milestone to build up the actual learning platform for the SAPHA course. Finally, the Baskets, as we have named the theory part structure, have found their forms for the piloting phase and we are ready to transform the learning materials into Moodle. We decided to use the learning platform most used in consortium HEIs, however for some of us this means a jump into other system in the end of the project. Even though HEI teachers are skilled in using multiple ICT tools for teaching, building a new course in an unfamiliar learning platform requires assistance from a technical specialist.
We all know the different perspectives for example into patient rehabilitation, and most of us have experienced challenges in co-operation with other health care professionals. Having various meanings for concepts, using different words referring the same phenomenon… the list may continue far. How fascinating might be the co-operation with experts from totally different fields?
Luckily, I have been working with the RENE team member Mika Arvola previously in similar projects. We got also Joni Liikala into our team and he is the main Moodle operator in Oulu University of Applied Sciences. The successful cooperation was based on their clear guidance on the task division: the content experts provide the contents, and the IT specialists would solve the technical issues within the boundaries the Moodle has. Our first session in Moodle transfer opened the technicians’ expertise to us. As my colleague Kati Kulju and I were first trying to “survive” with forming complex quizzes into this new platform, our technical specialists decided after half an hour that they will take over a bigger role and leave the teachers out of building the Moodle.
Later on, we realized how wise decision that was. The SAPHA theory part transfer to Moodle is now completed and as the tasks have been clearly divided for the ones who handle the task best. The RENE-project is on time to start the first piloting phase. This co-operation with technical specialists confirmed to me, once again, the richness of the team work. In multidisciplinary teams we can create more than by working individually.
