The Ibadan-Swansea Partnership The value of academic links Dr Ike Lagunju Lecturer/Consultant Paediatrician College of Medicine, University of Ibadan, Nigeria
How it all started • The ISP started with an opportune meeting between Prof Olugbemiro Sodeinde and Dr Steve Allen at the RCPCH annual meeting in York, 2003. • It has since grown into a solid partnership between the UI, Ibadan and Swansea University. • Mo. U signed by both institutions. Prof Sodeinde and Dr. Lagunju on visit to Swansea in 2005
The main aims of the ISP • Capacity building for lecturers in – teaching skills – computer-based learning • Provision of open access, copyright-free educational materials that will improve healthcare delivery & contribute to achieving the MDGs • Opportunities for medical students in the partner institutions to have exposure to international health through – Learning materials directly relevant to their own setting – Exchange programme / Electives • Collaboration in other areas Ibadan students studying ISP modules
The main aims of the ISP e. Learning modules aim to fill several gaps: Provide learners especially in low resource settings with learning resources that will be effective and appropriate /relevant in improving knowledge/training to ultimately improve health outcomes Take advantage of digital technology and copyright-free content to: • develop short learning modules that actively engage the learner • include formative assessment so that the learner can track their progress Promote self directed learning • use simple, widely available software so that others can adapt the materials for teaching other target groups The modules are usually designed to be studied mainly by a single learner sitting at a computer screen. However, they can be used to generate discussion topics or exercises that can be suitable for groups of learners.
Gains from the ISP: Staff Development • 2 Lecturers & 1 Learning Technologist supported by Fulton Fellowships • 1 Lecturer supported by funds from the Welsh Assembly
Gains from the ISP: Staff Development • Training workshops organized by the Faculty of Clinical Sciences on “ How to make effective e-learning modules” • More than 50 lecturers trained by the group trained on the ISP programme • Moodle introduced to Lecturers in FCS • Improved teaching skills, better evaluation methods, better defined LOs • Students motivated to engage in SDL
Gains from the ISP: SDL modules • Computer-based learning materials made on priority diseases: ü Tuberculosis ü Malaria ü Global Burden of Disease ü Care of the newborn ü Diabetes ü Obesity ü Trauma care • Open access, copyright-free. • Available on the intranet of both Universities & on the internet for global use. • GES courses ; Large classes • Distance learning Programme SDL Modules
