12. IPERG Thematic Review: Overlapping uses of technology in enhancing interprofessional learning • Information via internet • VLEs and tools to enhance reflective learning (e.g. e-portfolios) • Use of e-communication tools to enable synchronous discussion • Simulation • Web 2.0 technologies and social networking www.caipe.org.uk

13. IPERG Survey 2011-2012 • Online by email invitation to HEIs teaching at least one undergraduate health and social care course 2010-2011 • Formal interprofessional education courses or modules • 59 completed questionnaires from 48 HEIs • Did the course or module include e-learning? • What was the source of the e-learning ‘topics’? www.caipe.org.uk

14. IPERG Survey Results (‘e-learning’) • Of 57 courses described 33 (58%) included e-learning • Of those courses including e-learning, all but 4 used (only) ‘topics’ produced in-house • 2 used both in-house and bought in topics, and 2 used (only) bought in topics • ‘Bought in’ topics included CIPEL materials and Values Exchange www.caipe.org.uk

15. (Tentative) conclusions • Technology enhanced learning is (generally) underexploited for interprofessional learning • Continuing debate needed concerning authenticity and transferability • Need for a directory and comparative evaluation of resources • Collaboration – national and international www.caipe.org.uk
