"As our collection of cases grows, we hope to collect teachers' stories of the road to implementation and reflections on interprofessional education using the LTWC collection. Please let us know if you would like to share your experiences (you can also request access to join the discussion threads below)."
"Chapter 2 also discusses a series of clinical implications and recommendations for stakeholders wishing to engage these dynamic spaces. Chapter 3 reviews three recent administrative and judicial cases that have emerged from the inappropriate use of social media and Chapter 4 concludes with the main implications of and significance of the findings.

"Overwhelmingly, students enjoy CBL and think that it enhances their learning. The empirical data taken as a whole are inconclusive as to the effects on learning compared with other types of activity.

CBL seems to foster learning in small groups though whether this is the case delivery or the group learning effect is unclear."
"In summary, a morning report blog was perceived by learners to be an effective complement to case-based teaching sessions. The combination of novel web metrics and survey data allowed for a multifaceted evaluation of the educational impact of the blog."
"Blended learning enables the use of novel instructional methods and student-centred education. The three cases employ different educational methods, thus illustrating diverse possibilities and a variety of learning activities in blended learning."

" An awareness of the key elements that facilitate constructive and valuable CBD assessments, and that generate successful discussions and feedback for trainees, will maximise their educational value."
