Thanks for your positive feedback abou...Hi Bronwyn. Thanks for your positive feedback about this post (and all the others!). I am happy for you to link to this blog in your other courses, but have also worked out that I have used an incorrect term (though often-used abbreviation)in the blog. Tika/tikanga should of course read tikaka/tikanga, 'tika' is a word that we hear as an abbreviation which is no doubt unwise... perhaps we could edit the blog to include the correct terminology?<br />I will be in touch soon to plan my final contributions to the course. Cheers, SuzanneSuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01725457278754261828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3506619162542991907.post-79829979782822304912012-08-20T20:07:59.400-07:002012-08-20T20:07:59.400-07:00Suzanne, this is a fantastic description of the ex...Suzanne, this is a fantastic description of the excellent work being done in midwifery to support indigenous students and cultural diversity. I totally agree, the support of whanau and the community is really important, and as you say particularly essential when access to computing and Internet technology is compromised. <br /><br />I think that the opportunity to include some creative and student-focused assessment is wonderful, but as you say assessments also need to enable students to demonstrate competency in clinical practice and theory. Perhaps they could have more freedom in this area as well in terms of negotiating suitable assessments. <br /><br />I love this post so much that I would like to use it as a resource for future students - what do you say to my putting a link to this on the course wiki? I would also like to link to it from the Assessing and Evaluating course. Are you okay with this?<br /><br />Good luck with your searching.Bronwyn hegartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12032750297040394983noreply@blogger.com
