Mapping online residency: getting our bearings to effective online spaces and learning designs

#uogapt 8th July APT Conference

“Effective online engagement is particularly relevant to

health care professionals, who are bound by professional

codes of ethics. The increasing use of social media for

professional and public engagement requires them to

develop understanding of the interactions between

professional and personal spaces.”

Findings and Future Work

• Demarcation of personal/professional/institutional

spaces

• Prevalence of entertainment/utility “apps” in personal

visitor spaces (particularly in 1st year students) –

things that make life easier – why are these missing in

our institutional spaces?

• Further exploration of the boundary spaces e.g.

Youtube, Facebook

• Activity design – where, when and should we bring

boundary spaces into learning designs?

• Staff engagement and work with other schools
