• EPISODE 11: A framework for deep and meaningful learning - Janus van As

  "For students to really develop competencies, there's two dimensions they need to develop: firstly, the competence, but they also need to develop the confidence to display that competence and we feel that reflection helps them think about that what they've achieved, whether they've developed the competence and, in that sense, it helps them to develop the confidence." Janus van As joins Dr Paula Barnard-Ashton in the Coffee Grab studio to talk about a framework for deep and meaningful learning that they are using in the Department of Family Medicine and Primary Care.

• EPISODE 10: Integrating educational technology into the Clinical Associates programme at Wits - Aviwe Mgobozi

  From the first graduating class of clinical associates at Wits to the first South African trained head of division, Aviwe Mgobozi is in studio with our #Coffeegrab podcast host Dr. Paula Barnard-Ashton to explain what it means to be a clinical associate and how we are integrating educational technology into the clinical associates programme at Wits. Her leadership philosophy is, "Every single day I wake up and it's about what am I learning today? And I'm also taking others with me, so if there's something that I learn, I would share it with the team. I think that's important for leadership to be able to not hog information to yourself but share it, so others are also growing. To have a growth mindset is important so that you can spread your wings in different directions." Meet Aviwe Mgobozi

In this episode Shirra Moch, acting head of the Centre for Health Science Education, shares how her early adoption of a blended learning approach in her teaching triggered her shift towards helping lecturers become better teachers, the unique purpose of the postgraduate programmes offered in the CHSE, the research into how students learn, and what lies ahead.

What resources do they need?
