The EdCaN project is developing extended case studies. Each case
study:
- is centred around the experience of the person with cancer
and their family, and provides learning opportunities to enable
the development of the core graduate capabilities includes the
following features:
- overview, objectives and expected learning outcomes
- supplementary materials that present the clinical and social
context of the individual's circumstances
- audio-visual resources that extend the information available
about the scenario
- a series of learning activities that challenge students in
their thinking about particular aspects of the scenario and
facilitate reflection on learning/practice
- hints to scaffold student learning as necessary
- expert opinion on key aspects of the scenario, including an
expert ‘thinking aloud’ about the clinical situation.
- is supported by teaching and learning tools which include:
- a range of 'thinking' tools, for example a notepad/journalling
function for private reflection
- selected readings and/or links to relevant resources.
- is evidence based ie based on a comprehensive review of the
evidence to ensure that the content and learning approaches incorporated
in the educational resources are based on best available evidence
- reflects the diversity in patient demographics, settings of
care, diagnoses, and human responses to cancer.
