"In conclusion, this issue of the journal examines the handoff process across multiple domains, learners and contexts and creates a foundation for further inquiry. Future research should focus on determining best practices for handoff education for all learner levels, demonstrating validity of assessment methods, understanding the patient perspective and objectively measuring patient safety outcomes."

"This comprehensive collaborative learning workshop guide, developed from the ELI 2009 Fall Focus Session, contains a resource list and five workshop modules intended to reduce some of the extensive work involved in assembling the components and curriculum for such a program. Each of the modules contains topical guidelines, content, resources, and best practices, and each can be easily customized to fit the needs of your institution, department, or unit."

"All of the graduate students in the School of Nursing take some of their Master of Science courses online. A group of six School of Nursing faculty members and a graduate student received funding to determine best practices in online courses. The group developed an evaluation rubric to measure quality in the graduate online curriculum. They then applied the rubric to the core courses which are primarily offered online and are required for all graduate nursing students. The project had a positive impact on faculty by offering a tool useful for online course evaluation and development. Additionally it brought to attention the needs of faculty member development in online education."

I'm sharing the UKCDR project - full disclosure - I am Project Manager of this collaborative project. It aims to make it easier for groups and schools in medical education to have conversations about assessment software requirements with commercial and other developers. Additionally, the project is engaging with commercial developers and trying to win the battle to ensure that best practice pedagogic needs come top in their software development plans.
