Interprofessional Learning Assessment Strategy
This section describes the assessment principles and processes that will apply to the Inter-professional Learning Units. IPL Unit teams will develop the unit and it's assessment profile within the framework provided by the unit's learning outcomes, the academic level and the focus of assessment for each unit (this is the relationship of each unit to the New Generation Project Aims). Details of assessment activities, descriptors and criteria will be included in Unit Study Guides and Facilitator Handbooks.
