Synchronous Online Collaboration Using Google Doc to Promote Clinical Reasoning

Conference Tracks

Teaching Practices (Poster Only) – Analysis, synthesis, reflection, and discussion

Abstract

It is important for faculty to be able to facilitate small group collaboration synchronously and promote higher-order thinking in an online setting. The purpose of this poster is to describe how the community of inquiry framework can guide the creative consideration of a commonly used tool, such as Google Doc, in a new way to facilitate higher-order thinking while promoting collaboration and clinical reasoning in entry-level physical therapy students. Google Doc is traditionally used to collaborate and share ideas asynchronously. However, with some inventive consideration, it can be used to facilitate collaboration during synchronous online meetings with students.
